"If there’s an equivalent to someone who is “full stack” in design, this is your man! Markus brought human centered design to our product. Going beyond the obvious, always with scalability and long-term vision for growth in mind, he worked effortlessly with everything from user research and communication with customers to business strategy. In other parts of the process he delivered quality art direction and final user interface design of our new features that helped us in discussions with clients.
As a quick thinker and lightning fast prototyper he always brought significant quality in any work he took upon himself. Therefor I would gladly recommend Markus to anyone in need of product design."
"I worked with Markus on the first major re-launch of the Peltarion website in 2019. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole project - guiding us with his invaluable UX knowledge and experience, amazing attention to detail and strategic thinking throughout the process. Markus looks at understanding the user and his journey from every angle, with impressive thoroughness. While also understanding the fine balance between desk research insights vs. user testing. As a colleague, he’s been great to work with - always trying to help beyond his remit and being very supportive of the team. I would, without any hesitation, recommend him for any UX projects, knowing they will definitely be successful."
"Yes! I recommend Markus! Whether it's about usability testing/research, conceptual sketches/problem solving or user journey etc, Markus always deliver a well thought out result. At Peltarion, where we worked together, it is important to keep track of things as the construction of an AI platform is both complex and challenging (in a good way). You will also get a lot of laughs when you work with Markus, he is incredibly funny and knows a lot of things about odd things :) Markus is also someone you can talk to for real, he is empathetic and listening. He is simply a very amazing person to work with. The job is done in a super good manner and you have fun on the way there!"
"I would like to recommend Markus. Just out of Berghs School of Communication he helped King brand creative studio with insightful and relevant digital ideas for a major global game launch. Markus is bright, easy to work with and a very nice guy."
"Markus has the qualities of a great leader. Having him as a mentor during my internship at Vyer was an amazing experience. He trusts the process, but most importantly he trusts the team members. He cares for your well-being and is great at both giving and receiving constructive feedback. Markus instills confidence in you as a colleague and gives praise where it is due to keep you going. He is also quite skilled in project management and agile through and through. In addition to this Markus is a down to earth and reliable person. He is a pure pleasure to work with and I envy anyone who gets a chance to work with him in the future. He will be a great addition to any workplace and will help both team members and the business itself to overcome any challenge that appears. I had a great time working with Markus and so will you."
