Back in 1995, when I was 16 I founded an internet company called MotionArts. Ever since then I'm addicted to the nearly endless possibilities of the web by combining aesthetics and technology. After building Corporate Websites, Webportals, Content Management Systems, Flash Applications & Games I fell in love with Interfaces, Data Visualisations and digital Storytelling in general. Today I'm working at the intersection of design and technology as a Visual Designer, UX/UI Expert and Front-End Engineer.
To bridge the gap between design and implementation I developed a design system that included all the specifications and components used in the final product.
On behalf of Panter, I was heavily involved in the front-end development of the MigrosBank advisor workplace. Under my direction, the UI components, the framework and the Invest module were shaped and developed.
I developed a library and a documentation system of all the UI components used by the Advisor Workplace application.

My diploma was all about finding information in time based media files. Because automated transcription has its limits, crowd tagging might be the way to go. With my prototype search engine the user is able to append tags to any particular time slot. This meta data will then help to provide better search results.

Creating teaser images from our visualizations became a frequent task. This was the main reason why I developed a teaser-creator tool. It’s simple: drag’n drop an image, choose a preset – et voilà.
I do not like the "status quo". That's why I constantly iterate over ideas and come up with new solutions. One of these ideas was a color picker that would let me choose colors in a limited way though being able to use the whole spectrum.
I'm very fond of colors. That is why I created my own color application with tools to help me work with colors. For example to find good color combinations, create color palettes or mixing colors together.
For a long time I had an idea to develop a digital kaleidoscope. After exploring a physics engine I took the chance to actually build it. Later on I reshaped it a bit to be used as a visual for a conference on a big led screen. Sadly the conference never happened :(
Note: append ?debug to the url to see into the inner workings of the kaleidoscope
Since I started my career as a web designer, I have always felt the urge to build my own tools. This was also the topic of a talk I gave at Web Zurich. Of course I couldn't resist and took this as an opportunity to develop a small prototype.
