Hey I'm Philipp, a product designer, writer, side-project enthusiast, and visual thinker, based in Graz, Austria. Welcome to my tiny home on the internet.
Welcome to my tiny home on the internet. This is where I gather what lights me up: the things I read, listen to, bookmark, write, and tinker with. It is not just a portfolio or a collection of work. It is a living space, a reflection of who I am and what I care about. I am Philipp, a Product Designer who loves to shape interfaces, explore the intersection of creativity, design, and software, and dive into side projects as a way to learn, grow, and occasionally stumble upon something unexpected.
Most recently, I was the first Product Design hire at Scrintal. There, I contributed to taking the product and brand from idea to reality. Before that, I worked on apps like iTranslate and Morgen, always guided by the same goal: to build experiences that are not only beautiful but meaningful, efficient, and truly user-centric. At heart, I am a problem solver, a visual and strategic thinker, driven by curiosity and the belief that design is as much about asking the right questions as it is about crafting the right solutions.
This space is not just about what I have done. It is about what I am still figuring out. For the past five years, I have been writing and building Creativerly, a publication where I unpack my thoughts, curate noteworthy apps and software, and explore the ever-evolving world of design and technology. It is a place for musings, discoveries, and the occasional deep dive into what makes digital experiences resonate. Here, you will find traces of my work, my experiments, and the things that inspire me. It is less about showcasing a polished portfolio and more about sharing the journey, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. If you are curious to follow along, you can sign up for my personal newsletter, Datest. In it, I share notes on building this tiny home on the internet, the tools I use, the books I read, and the ideas that keep me up at night.
