Eike Otto

Eike Otto Freelance Senior UX/UI Designer

For over 20 years I’ve designed digital products for regulated industries: energy grids, parcel logistics, mobility, banking, insurance and health sector.

Processes with legal constraints, several internal and external stakeholders, and customers who never asked to understand any of it.

UX, research, interface and language come from one person: fewer handovers, and someone accountable from the first interview to the release. My background is industrial design, I think in situations of use, not in screens — to create value both for business and customers.
