Hello there, I’m Christoph.
Nice to meet you. Let's talk.
As a Product Designer from Germany with over 8 years of experience, I design user-centered products that align user needs with business goals. I work closely with product managers and engineers to prototype early concepts and iterate quickly toward intuitive, impactful experiences.
Currently, I’m a Product Designer at ToolTime, where I focus on building scalable design systems and creating tools that empower craftsmen to manage their businesses efficiently. In the past, I was a Senior Product Designer at Europace, shaping the future of home financing with cohesive design systems.
Before that, I worked at Plunet, where I helped translation agencies and freelance translators streamline their workflows.
What I’m Passionate About
Intersection of Design, Product, and Code
I enjoy contributing to the entire process – understanding user problems, designing flows and interfaces, prototyping ideas, and supporting front-end implementation. If there’s something wrong in the front end, I’m not afraid to dive into the code and try to fix it myself.
The User at the Center and Problem-Solving
Users are always at the heart of my work. I love uncovering their needs and solving complex problems through accessible, beautiful, and thoughtful products.
Collaboration and Cross-Functional Teams
I strongly believe that great products are built by diverse teams. I enjoy working with product managers, engineers, researchers, and fellow designers, combining our strengths to ship products that make a difference.
Design Systems and Tools
Whether it’s building and extending design components or writing Figma plugins, I’m always looking for ways to make design workflows more efficient.
Learning Through Curiosity
Learning has always been a source of joy for me – whether it’s figuring out how something works, exploring new tools and technologies, or immersing myself in different cultures. Recently, I’ve been learning Japanese, and it’s been both a fun and rewarding challenge.
Other Things I Like
Cooking
I love spending time in the kitchen, trying new dishes and baking all kinds of treats. Lately, I’ve been diving into breadmaking and just started my sourdough starter – wish me luck! 🤞
Video Games
When I’m not designing, I enjoy exploring new worlds in video games. My all-time favorites include Beyond Good & Evil, the Yakuza series, and Ori and the Blind Forest.
Japan
I’ve been to Japan three times and love the country and its culture. The food and landscapes are incredible, and every visit leaves me wanting to explore more.
Corgis
I’m a little obsessed with Corgis – they’re just the best. It’s a dream of mine to have one of these fluffy companions someday.
