UX Consulting & Mentoring – Usability Expert
Better user experiences and a strong UX team don't happen by chance – write to me and we'll make progress on both fronts.
What is UX consulting & mentoring?
In the digital world, user experience (UX) is a crucial success factor for modern products and services. Whether websites, mobile apps or complex digital platforms – a well-thought-out and compelling UX design ensures that users feel comfortable, achieve their goals quickly and intuitively, and are happy to come back.
But UX is much more than just aesthetic design. It is about a deep understanding of user needs, interaction behaviour and the targeted creation of added value. Only when digital experiences are tailored to the expectations and contexts of the target group can genuine user loyalty be achieved.
With professional UX consulting and mentoring, you can develop your UX team in a targeted manner, optimise existing UX strategies and concepts, and take your digital solutions to the next level in a sustainable way.
Through targeted analysis, informed feedback and the development of internal UX expertise, we ensure that user-friendliness, accessibility and emotional impact are in harmony – for digital experiences that inspire and differentiate.

How can I effectively validate existing UX concepts and UI designs?
Validating an existing UX or UI design is crucial to ensuring that it provides the best possible experience for users. UX consulting helps you review your current UX concept and UI design, identify weaknesses, and make data-driven improvements.
UX audit and heuristic analysis
The consultancy offers comprehensive UX audits to evaluate your product from the user's perspective. This involves conducting a heuristic analysis based on recognised UX principles. We identify weaknesses in the design, user guidance or interaction logic and formulate suggestions for improvement.
User testing and feedback integration
One of the most effective methods for validating a UX concept is user testing. UX Consulting supports you in conducting usability tests in which real users test your product. The feedback collected is analysed and translated into concrete design changes to increase user-friendliness.
Data-driven UX optimisation
The validation of UX concepts should always be data-driven. With the help of analytics tools, heat maps and user journey analyses, UX Consulting provides you with valuable insights into user behaviour. This enables you to make informed decisions to improve conversion rates, reduce abandonment rates and increase overall user satisfaction.

How can mentoring for UX executives and team leaders strengthen your team?
An important aspect of digital project management is the use of specialised tools. These are tailored to the needs of modern, digital projects and support efficiency, communication and collaboration.
Development of a UX vision
As a UX leader, it is your job to develop a clear UX vision for your team and your company. Mentoring supports you in formulating this vision and embedding it in all areas of the company.
Effektive Teamführung
Good leadership is the key to success for any UX team. As part of the mentoring programme, you will learn how to motivate your team, promote individual strengths and create a collaborative working environment.
Strategisches UX-Management
UX should have strategic value for the company and not be viewed purely as a design issue. Mentoring helps you position UX as a strategic advantage within the company so that it is integrated into business decisions and has a significant impact on the company's success.
Everything you need to know when we work together
In an initial meeting, we clarify goals, challenges, and framework conditions. Based on this, I develop a customized setup - e.g., as an external product owner, UX consultant, technical project manager, or strategic sparring partner for digital product teams. I quickly integrate into existing structures and work closely with internal stakeholders, developers, and management.
Both are possible. I either work embedded in internal product teams (remotely or hybrid) or independently with my network of developers and designers. My goal is always efficiency, transparency, and smooth integration into existing processes.
UX consulting and mentoring is relevant for both companies and individuals.
- Companies benefit if they want to make their existing products more user-friendly or systematically integrate UX into their development processes.
- Start-ups receive support in adopting the right UX strategy at an early stage, thereby avoiding costly detours.
- UX professionals and executives use mentoring to expand their skills, develop leadership qualities or manage their team more successfully.
In short: whether you are a young company, an established product or an aspiring UX executive, consulting and mentoring bring clarity, structure and growth.
UX Consulting focuses on projects, products and processes: Together, existing designs, strategies and processes are analysed and concrete recommendations for action are developed in order to measurably improve the user experience.
UX mentoring, on the other hand, is aimed at individuals – primarily UX designers, managers, or teams. The focus here is on personal development: skill building, leadership coaching, feedback on working methods, and individual support in everyday life. The two complement each other perfectly: while consulting helps the company move forward, mentoring ensures that the people involved grow and achieve better results in the long term.
The results depend on the objectives, but are usually clearly measurable. Typical successes include:
- Improved user experience: Products become more intuitive, leading to higher customer satisfaction.
- Higher conversion and customer retention rates: An optimised user experience has a direct positive impact on business figures.
- More efficient processes: The user experience is systematically integrated into product development, resulting in fewer correction loops.
- Stronger teams: Mentoring helps to develop skills, independence and leadership qualities in the field of user experience.
This leads to both short-term successes and long-term competitive advantages.
