Product & Motion Designer
I spent almost a decade making things move. Now I'm figuring out how they should work.
Design in action
I bring a mix of creativity and technical know-how to every project. I believe the best results come from working closely together to understand the real 'why' behind a problem, before jumping to solutions.
tavern App
Every week, tabletop RPG players go looking for a group online, and most of them end up in the wrong one. Tavern makes playstyle compatibility visible before the first session, using a scenario-based Vibe Check that turns how you actually play into a visual fingerprint. This case study covers what I assumed, what the data broke, and what I built instead.
Product Design
Showreel
Nearly a decade of editing and motion design work at Elbdudler and Kolle Rebbe, across formats from social campaigns to broadcast spots, for clients like Netflix, DAZN, Joyn, Lufthansa, Edeka, Comdirect, Gerolsteiner, and Iglo. This is a selection from that work.
Motion Design
Gerolsteiner x Wacken Festival
Metalheads know the fight against the hangover better than most. The Gerolsteiner Wacken campaign follows Gerolt, the brand's mineral water hero, on his journey from the Volcanic Eifel to the festival grounds. I storyboarded and animated the video series and adapted assets across festival video walls, Reels, and Stories, produced at Elbdudler.
Graphic & Motion Design
Comdirect Social Media Campaigns
Financial topics make people feel behind, and Black Week makes people spend without thinking. Across several comdirect campaigns, I edited and animated videos that pushed back on both, breaking down money basics for a Gen Z audience and asking bargain hunters to pause before buying.

About
I'm Maik, a Product & Motion Designer based in Hamburg. Before moving into UX/UI, I spent nearly a decade in motion design — from junior roles to Senior Motion Designer at agencies in Hamburg.
I've learned that animation is more than eye candy, it's a tool to guide the user. That's what drew me to Product Design. I use my background in timing and storytelling to create experiences where every transition has a reason and nothing feels accidental.
Love gaming
Enjoy photography
That's me

Let’s build something that moves people.
I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities in Product Design UI/UX based in Hamburg (or remote). Whether you have a specific role in mind or just want to chat about design systems and micro-interactions – I’d love to hear from you.
