He/ Him/ His
I’m a CIS male who’s a son, husband, dad, uncle and friend. And as I grow older, a mentor to some.
I was born and raised in Germany but also lived some years in Canada, Mexico and currently Argentina. During a normal day I speak three languages: German with my mom and friends, English at work and also with friends and Spanish at home with my wife and my two kids and Spanish at work and also with some friends.
As a professional designer I worked at big advertising agencies in the very beginning of my career. Followed by freelance interface work for telcos as Vodafone and TLabs. Then co-founding startups and leading Research and Design teams in big international corporates. Currently executive consulting for UX leaders at international corporates.

Miscellanea
I like observing people and therefore I am big fan of street photography. Check my portfolio on glass.photo
I am cooking and sharing food since I was six years young. This is also my way to recall all the places I lived and travelled. Cooking and eating brings me to next point:
I do sports, specifically I like running. Marathons and half marathons or just extended walks in a park or city.
So I enjoy hikes in nature as I enjoy graffiti in a vibrant city life.
Since traveling is a big part of my life I speak 3 languages fluently: German, English and Spanish
People say I am a communicator -not to say that I talk a lot- but I like sharing experiences and that is why you might find me on stage of some design and/or tech events.
