Martin Thiemann

User Experience Designer

Hi, I'm Martin.
I design digital products
and services.

And here is what I actually do:

First of all

brain

Thinking

If you don't do it, you will regret later.
I always like to have the critical questions in mind before I start designing.

Interaction Design

wireframe

Wireframing

Quick but meaningful sketches of user interfaces, done by hand. Detailed and thought-through wireframes made on my Mac.

Prototyping

Clickable wireframes (rapid prototyping) for web sites and apps (web, mobile, app, new hardware).
From sketchy to pixel-perfect. Made with Axure RP or Web frameworks. Ready for presenting, testing and development.

Visual Design

Pixel-perfect

Hierarchy, tonality, brand, emotions. That is why high-class visual design is so important for digital products. And that is what I am passionate about. I use Adobe Photoshop since I am 14 years old, but I am familiar with Illustrator and Fireworks, too.

UX

What else?

I am also interested in other UX-related fields like user testing, defining use cases, user journeys and personas, psychology, research, business models, information architecture, ...
I am eager to contribute in these areas, too.

Sustainability: I try to run my business without destroying our planet.

  • My home office is powered by 100% renewable energy.
  • This web site is hosted by Strato and hence powered by 100% renewable energy, too.
  • I prefer using public transportation and I am a owner of BahnCard50 (half price plan).
  • I keep my bank account at EthikBank (ethically correct).
  • I am pretty active on Kiva (microfinancing service).
