I am Maik,

Berlin-based UX & Digital Designer with an international background shaped by work and studies across Europe, the United States, and Spain. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design and a Master’s degree earned in Barcelona, where I further deepened my strategic and product-focused design thinking.

With a lifelong background in competitive sports and ongoing training in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, I bring discipline, resilience, and a strong team mindset into my work. These values directly shape how I approach complex challenges and long-term product thinking.

My focus is on building clear, scalable, and human-centered digital experiences. designing beyond aesthetics to create solutions that are both functional and meaningful.
