Projects
Making Covid-19 vaccine handling safe
Improving the safe and efficient handling of BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine by providing on-site guidelines and information to the key personelle fighting the corona crisis.
The handling of BioNTech’s newly developed Covid-19 vaccine is known to be quite difficult. But to guarantee it’s optimal effectiveness special safety measures while handling and administrating the vaccine are absolutely essential.
With interactive agency portvier I delevoped an UX concept and visual design for a set of mobile first web-apps to bring all necessary information to the doctors and nurses that handle and administer the vaccine. Secondly we addressed the patients that have been vaccinated to ensure optimal follow-up care.
Naturally this was a race against time. While the vaccination in Germany was about to start at the end of 2020 we hurried to prepare the digital distribution of all needed information while the underlaying contents where still being written and visual material produced in parallel.
Given these constraints the focus was to make sure all info will be easily accessible for the diverse group of users.

Streamlining Solar Home System Maintenance
How might we empower local technicians to maintain solar home systems in rural Africa?
Mobisol distributes and services PV solar systems for rural households and small businesses in East Africa. The former servicing process was based on phone calls and excel-sheets – prone to errors and not suitable once Mobisol’s operations scaled up. So the goal was to create a smartphone application that optimizes communication between the company’s staff, contractors and customers. The app assists technicians before, during and after the maintenance itself and also provides tools to better interact with the customer, making the most out of this powerful touchpoint.

Optimizing big-industry factory planning
How might we give easier access to industry components for engineers and buyers while showcasing the company’s service portfolio as part of the product?
For one of Bosch’s big industry subsidiaries we optimized a highly specialized tool for the selection and configuration of production line componentry.
The task was to simplify the user interface and provide a faster and more comprehensive access for non-specialists, such as buyers or project owners and their respective needs regarding information within a planning or servicing project.
In tight collaboration with the client’s department heads we also uplifted the service portfolio of the company. With growing foreign competition and their generally cheaper physical products, our aim was to condensate the offered connected services that nowadays are a key part of industry 4.0 products. Making the connection between physical product and provided maintainance services as clear as possible.

A Smarter Solar Home System
Utilizing East Africa’s growing smartphone usage to establish a new channel of communication between Mobisol and their solar home system customers.
With more and more smartphones in the hands of Mobisol’s solar home system users it was only logical to add these powerful devices as a new gateway of information and interaction to Mobisol’s services. The app allows customers to get immediate updates about their system, payments and offers. Most importantly the application aims to replace a clunky and error-prone sms-based communication method. With many customers being of low tech-literacy we aimed for a simple yet trustworthy design that empowers the user rather than overwhelms with unnecessary information.
To bring these benefits to a bigger audience of pay-as-you-go service providers it is also now part of the → Paygee Ecosystem.

Simplifying Microscopy for Everyone
The clip-on microscope and smart image recognition software transform your smartphone into a powerful tool to analyze samples in seconds, wherever you are.
A young research group at TH Wildau had developed a solution that empowers any smartphone user to become a microscopy analyst. By combining a fairly low-tech hardware extension with smart algorithms and cloud services, Oculyze performs analysis for health and food-industry that had been costly and time-consuming up till now.
Together we worked out requirements and a design direction for the young start-up and their application.
I provided the team with fundamental branding and an app-design, as well as interactive prototypes to lay out a basis for their further product development. Since it’s founding, Oculyze has grown steadily and received multiple awards for their service product.

Allerorten
A research project to envision, explore & engineer concepts for future living spaces
The non-profit project Allerorten [everywhere] wants to engage the way we think about housing needs and living space in a tangible and open-minded way.
Our prototype “OTTO” allows us to create a year-roundly habitable space at various, even hardly accessible locations, and let people define it’s form and function through their individual use.
OTTO itself is under constant development and is iteratively designed to allow diverse stakeholders have a tangible discussion about the idea of mobile living spaces and their purpose in our ever changing global society. Allerorten does not provide a technical solution but rather a co-creational approach to design and architecture.

Battling Headaches
How might a smartphone help migraine patients in their daily struggle with pain?
The certified medical app → M-Sense against headaches and migraines empowers people to discover personal trigger factors and learn how to avoid attacks.

Fuelling Regional Airports
Boiling down the B2B purchase funnels for jet-fuel.
To provide an easier and more reliable access to fuel and maintenance products I created an extensive set of wireframes to tackle the B2B aviation purchase funnel as well as it‘s CMS in the background. Interactive prototypes then helped us to discuss the use cases with the client and end-users.

Interactive Installations
Creating experiences on the intersection of physical space and digital media
In collaboration → Potsdam Museum, we dealt with creative struggles of censored artists during in the former German Democratic Republic.
A life-sized room, consisting of rear-projected surfaces, can completely change it’s appearance according to the different stories we captured in interviews, wrapping visitors effectively in the context of that time.
To further engage with the protagonists the visitor can interact with objects inside the room and influence the narration.

Human-Tree-Interaction
Designing the encounter between people and the remote digital alter-ego of a real life tree.
For this project with Neubau Berlin, one of Berlin’s finest type studios, we created a remote representation of a tree to celebrate the release of their high-detail tree-library → Neubau Forst. Sensors pick up physical data at the actual tree’s location while it’s digital representation is visually modified according to the sensor’s input hundreds of kilometers away. The avatar will react to passersby, wind, noise and more.
