Hi, I'm Brian
User Experience Designer + Team Lead based in Bonn, Germany
I have over 8 years of experience bringing user needs, business goals and technical feasibility into alignment in concepts that work. I do so using tracking data and user research, building rapid and hi-fi prototypes, and running A/B tests.
Since the web is one of the world’s biggest polluters, it’s my mission to use my role to find solutions that do not harm society or environment. I’m currently focussing on web performance as a way to reduce energy consumption while increasing business value and improving user experience.
