Selected product work
I design digital products, prototypes, and tools that turn complex requirements into clear interactions. These projects show how I work from discovery through testing and implementation.
The examples include product work for XING and Weidmüller, plus a time-boxed Figma exercise.
XING – Insights
As Product Designer for XING Insights, I worked on features that supported XING’s shift from a social network toward a professional life companion. I ran product discovery, designed and tested prototypes, and worked with the team through implementation.
Salary module
The main challenge was presenting complex salary data without overwhelming people. I designed interactive data visualizations that let people compare their salary with relevant market data.
The information hierarchy guides people from their current salary to comparable data, job-search context, and useful next steps.
Skills module
I designed a Skills insight for the XING feed to make profile updates easier and more relevant. The module selects skills from a larger recommendation pool and lets people add useful skills directly to their profile.
The iteration focused on clearer recommendations, a more visible save action, and less effort for each profile update.
Testing, outcomes & metrics
User interviews showed that people understood the redesigned module and felt more confident when they managed their skills. The clearer save action was an important part of that response.
After release, the available metrics indicated higher engagement within the module.
Weidmüller – ROI calculator for wind turbines
During the Weidmüller relaunch, the sales team needed a clearer way to explain the BLADEcontrol system for wind turbines. I worked with the team to turn a complex Excel calculation into an online ROI calculator.
Simplifying the calculation
The main challenge was reducing the data complexity without hiding the logic behind the calculation. I organized the process into three steps and tested the flow with non-technical users.
From sketch to production
I worked with the sales team to turn early paper sketches into the final flow. I implemented the calculator with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and integrated it into the website within one month.
What testing changed
We considered storing form data locally for returning users. Usability tests showed that some users distrusted local storage because of privacy concerns, so we did not add the feature. Read the full testing note.
Corporate fitness landing page exercise
I used a four-hour design exercise to explore how a corporate fitness app could explain its core features and registration flow to new users. I focused on the top half of the landing page and built the concept in Figma.
Responsive Figma prototype
The time box was four hours. I still built the page with reusable components and Auto Layout so the concept could adapt across viewport sizes.
