15 years refining an industry benchmark

Short Story

From 2010 to 2024 I moved Native Instruments from pixel pushing to vector and 3D based production, redefining the Komplete portfolio visual identity and therefore impacting audio software interfaces standards for the music industry.

Along the way I was:

• Design director for Komplete platforms
• Design lead for Reaktor 6, Traktor pro3, Guitar Rig 6/7, Kontakt 8
• Design Project Manager, 3D artist, DSP consultant, QML scripter…

Background & Tools

With degrees in Fine Arts, Japanese literature and a serious knack for DSP, I try to bring different angles to my design work.
Figma, Blender, JUCE, QML, Reaktor, html, JS, VS code, github: I design and prototype where your team is.

Beyond Audio

The same craft now serves scientific imaging, professional grade applications and developer tools.

Establishing a language

Clarity, concision.
Depth, breadth.
Rules and exceptions.
Human Interface Design is the creation of a language:
a system of meaning built on consistency, patterns and induced expectations.

I will make sure your product talks to your users in their lingo.
