Founded 2002, Terratec Electronic has quickly become major player in computer components in Germany, focusing on high quality products in the range of sound, speakers, Video, TV and accessories.

I have worked on designing software for TV apps and 2007 I have also worked on relaunch of the company’s website, where I was responsible for the overall visual concept and interface. I have split the contents into visual worlds with their own visuals and colors. The site has also incorporated a shop for the components, which also had to be designed.

During several years of working for Softsystems Solutions, a company which has developed sports betting software, I could gather extensive hands on experience as a UX designer.

At the timepoints I have joined the project, the software has already been partly developed, but the design was done by the developers. It was quickly clear that it will not be enough just to add a nice skin, to make the product usable, so I had to dive in to the concept phase. I could gather information from live testing the software use on the touchscreen terminals and then study and improve pain points.

After the touchscreen terminal has been completely developed, the concept had to be ported onto a mobile screen. The main challenge was to display plethora of information on a small space and make it understandable to the user. Again, we could test and improve the concept by testing it with real users and interviewing them.

My work was not over with designing the user interface for the end users. Additionally I had to design information monitors, cashier and backend administration software and company’s website.

I have been always interested in design theory, including topics like gestalt theory, typography, composition and colors. Bein confident that the use of color in design should not be arbitrary, I have written and designed my own book with a research on a use of color on the web.

Few years after grounding and running international web design portal and community www.crossmind.net

i have decided to edit and publish a book on web design trends. The 116 pages book covers the first 10 years years of the internet era and intends to categorize and overview the visual trends, describing their origins.

The independent music portal BeSonic was grounded back in 1999 and has quickly become one of the most successful music download portals on the internet. I took part in several major relaunches of the portal, designing its look and feel.

About ten years later a major investor has jumped in and I was invited to be a part of a design team, which was assigned for the next relaunch. Here I have co-developed the design system and have designed several portal areas, from low and high fidelity wireframes to final screens. Unfortunately this major relaunch was not carried on (thanks to the same investor), but the portal still exists:)

This is a rough design concept for a paperless car rental app.

My aim was to create an understandable, modern UI, which would be easy to use. The responsive layout should cover different mobile device sizes, from mobile to tablet.

The Roman Goronok Company is a boutique investment company, specializing in rare and antique musical instruments. The company is a client of mine for many years and one of my tasks was creating a simple to use web-based database for the instruments, consignments and contacts. The initial version of the database was web-based and later on came the idea to make a mobile-friendly version. 

The structure of the app has been kept simple, with the ease of use in the foreground. Before the actual development, the main use cases have been mocked in a prototype, tested by the client. The feedback has been analyzed and implemented in the final product.
