Howdy doody, I’m Tobes 👋
… a curious Product Designer, asking maaany questions! 💬
My design process is closely guided by the Double Diamond 💎💎 framework. Focusing heavily on early validation, data-driven feedback, and fast iteration lets me realise meaningful potential for users and deliver measurable impact for businesses. 📈
From the age of 16, I was lucky to secure internships at the biggest creative names in Germany. 🇩🇪 After high school, I travelled through Australia and fell in love with Melbourne. 🇦🇺
With a couple more IQ points, I might have studied psychology. 📚 In UX and Service Design, I found what satisfies my fascination – a combination of science, psychology, logic and creativity. ✨ The Bachelor of Integrated Design at KISD 🧡 in Cologne, Germany let me further explore those disciplines. 🔬
Simultaneously, I was privileged to work for industry leaders, like denkwerk 🧠, FOND OF 🎒, Ryzon 🚴 and DUMBO 🐘 – designing products and experiences. 🖥️
Still burning for my old love Melbourne, I decided to study a semester abroad at RMIT ✈️. One semester turned into two, and before I knew it, Melbourne became my new permanent home. 🎉
Thank you for popping in – Tobes ❤️
