Digital products that work in everyday life.
I combine more than 15 years of UX and product design with AI-assisted development. That makes ideas tangible early, decisions better informed and turns prototypes into products people use. Testable first, then live, then better.
Good ideas die in presentations.
An idea nobody can touch gets discussed instead of decided. And when something does get built, it's often too much, too early and beside the need. The path in between is missing: show something real quickly, learn from it and then build with a plan.
Test first. Then build.
Test the idea
An idea isn't a product yet. But it can quickly become one you can test. We turn your idea into a clickable prototype, with real content and thought-through UX. So you can present, test with users and decide before a big budget is spent.
- DiscoveryAudience, problem, hypothesis.
- PrototypeClickable, with real imagery and real copy.
- TestCollect reactions instead of guessing opinions.
- DecisionKeep building, change or discard, with evidence.
Build the product
From a tested concept to a product that runs. I'm responsible for concept, UX/UI and design system through to launch. For the technical build I work with experienced development partners. The result can be used, operated and evolved.
- MVPThe smallest scope that delivers real value.
- Design systemBuilding blocks design and development can rely on.
- LaunchWith a website that makes the product understandable.
- Ongoing developmentFeedback in, next version out.
No standard process, but the right next step: some start with an idea, others with a product that needs to get better, or with their own development team that lacks UX. After every phase, you decide whether to continue. No big project on a hunch.
One contact. The right people for every project.
I guide digital products from the first idea to implementation, with experience in product strategy, UX/UI, design and AI-assisted development. I build prototypes and smaller applications myself. For larger software projects I work with experienced development partners.
- One contactDecisions don't get ground down between design and code.
- Short pathsWhat's decided in design arrives in the product that way.
- Built myselfI developed and launched Archivist myself, all the way to subscriptions.
- TransparentYou see every interim state, not just the result.
New possibilities. Experience still decides.
AI is changing how digital products are made. Ideas can now be visualised, prototyped and tested in days instead of weeks. But building faster doesn't mean building the right thing. I use AI to get to results faster without compromising on concept, quality or what users need.

Frequently asked questions.
Do we have to start with the prototype?
No. If the decision has been made and the requirements are clear, we start directly with product development. The prototype is worth it when it's still open whether and how to build.
Who develops?
I build prototypes and smaller applications myself. For larger software projects I work with experienced development partners. I stay your contact and am responsible for product and design.
We already have a product or our own development team. Does that work?
Yes. Then I step in where something's missing: UX, a design system, a new feature or AI functions for an existing product.
What does a project cost?
That depends on the scope. After a first conversation you get a quote per phase, so you can decide step by step.
How long does it take?
A prototype usually takes a few weeks. An MVP, depending on scope, a few months. We set the schedule in discovery.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I'm based in Austria and work with teams in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, remotely and on site when needed.
Discuss a project.
You have an idea but no clear plan yet? In a first conversation we clarify what you want to achieve, which questions are open and what the sensible next step is. I'll get back to you within two working days.Book an intro call or email cornelia@likeit.digital.
