Testimonials

Smart, experience-based, and concise! I have had the chance to see how Christian ended up redesigning our whole onboarding process from scratch, driven by data, user feedback, and experimentation. He most likely impressed the rest of the team through his knowledge of design and accessibility, expectedly a huge point of focus at Polygon! Christian would be an asset for any team looking for an ambitious and driven UI/UX designer!

Christian's approach to design is more than simply functional or pragmatic - in every project I worked with him on, Christian seemed to see around corners, anticipating the implications of each decision made. With his background in digital art, his solutions always have a gloss of delight, a sort of unanticipated flair that could only come after solid foundations had been laid. Christian understand the UX process more than most designers I've worked with, and it shows in every product he touches.
