Research lead & cross-functional partner in a data-informed design practice.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Felix while I was leading the research team and he was heading up design. Although we worked in different disciplines, our day-to-day collaboration was constant, and he quickly became one of my most valued sparring partners, both professionally and personally.

‍

What stood out to me most was how strongly Felix believed in data-driven decision making. He didn’t just say that research was important, he actively made sure my team was involved at the right moments, included in discussions, and able to influence decisions. That level of respect for insights and evidence made collaboration not only effective, but genuinely rewarding.

‍

Felix has a rare ability to challenge ideas in a constructive way. Our conversations were always thoughtful, honest, and focused on finding the best possible solution rather than defending a position. He created space for open dialogue, and I always felt that research and design were working as true partners rather than in separate tracks.

‍

Beyond the work itself, Felix is simply a great person to collaborate with. He brings curiosity, energy, and a sense of perspective that makes even complex or high-pressure projects feel manageable. He is someone I consistently looked forward to working with, and someone who made the people around him better at what they do.

‍

I can warmly recommend Felix to any team that values collaboration, thoughtful decision making, and people who make both the work and the workplace better.
