I design with curiosity for how people navigate their world

I am Kilian, an Interface Design student at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam with a background in social work. This perspective continues to shape how I approach design.
I focus on designing clear and intuitive products grounded in research and user insights. My work combines analytical thinking with empathy to create meaningful and accessible digital experiences.

What else shapes me
Glad you made it this far. If you are curious about the person behind this portfolio, here is a glimpse. Nature and movement are important to me. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active. Hiking, surfing, traveling, yoga, or long bike rides help me clear my head and gain new perspectives.
Right now, I am building a camper together with my girlfriend, which allows us to explore new places, meet different people, and spend more time on the road. I see life as an adventure and try to appreciate both the small, everyday moments and the bigger experiences with curiosity and joy.
