Hi, I'm Felix. I lead Product Design teams in London and Remote

⚠️ Disclaimer: Not a product design ninja, UX guru or usability evangelist! Just a dude doing design based on data, real life testing, user empathy and rational thinking 😉
‍

Since a lot of people have been furloughed, I have build a website with jobs and resources in the design space: remotedesignjobsboards.com

In the past 10 years, I worked all sort of projects, big and small from startups to large scale companies that needed to improve, tweak or create new features and solve problems that improve key 🔑 metrics.

I've led design sprints, client workshops, ran usability testing sessions‍, worked in multiple environments and have a good degree of adaptability.
‍
Worked with clients like Warner Brothers, Google, Facebook, H&M, The Economist, BASF, EY, Microsoft, COOP as well as some interesting startups like Beamery, Peerpoint, Leakbot and Ordo Pay.

Before, I worked on the agency side with EY Seren, Huge & AKQA
‍
Okkayy... Done with the geeky buzzwords! When I’m not designing I train, run, cook, , read nutrition & behaviour psychology books, look at dark sky pictures, chat about the wikihouse project and tiny houses.

Imagine, you are at lunchtime with your colleagues, how many times have you bumped into the situation of not knowing the menu of you local company canteen or cafeteria?

Prototyping

I work with a series of prototyping tools like Framer, Principle, Flinto, etc in order to achieve the interaction I want to test. These are great to prove ideas, show concepts beamed directly to anyone’s phone. For many years I found this can ease up the conversation and create an extra bridge between stakeholders, developers and users.
