1) Designing the future of AI at Lovable 2) Angel investing in early-stage startups 3) Sharing insights on design, AI, and startups Obsessed with design and products since high school. Started my first company before I turned 18, studied business and design in the US, dropped out, became lead designer at Mapify (acquired by HomeToGo), and joined Gorillas as the first designer, helping it scale into a unicorn. Later joined Creandum as a design advisor, founded a product design & brand studio, became an angel investor in 15+ startups, and a podcast host. Today, I lead Growth Design at Lovable. I split my time between Stockholm and Berlin, blending German functionality with Scandinavian minimalism in everything I do. When I’m not working, you’ll find me surfing, skiing, snowboarding, running, or meeting new people. Always on the move. Always connecting. Let’s grab a coffee!
