Hi, my name is Tim J. Peters. I'm a Berlin-based design generalist with a focus on interactive and strategic design.
As Head of UX & Strategy at SCHUMACHER — Brand + Interaction Design, I work with a talented team of designers, strategists and developers.
I completed my Master's degree at FH;P's renowned Interface Design track in Potsdam. Before and after that I worked in different agencies for a range of clients from DAX30 to SMEs, NGOs and several exciting start-ups. Please find my full CV below.
I am passionate about creating human-centred concepts, services and applications with a focus on sustainability, usability and purpose. My work is determined by the urge to make the world a better and easier place for everyone, starting with design and technology that puts humans in the forefront. My greatest strengths are my enthusiasm for what I do, my quick perception and ability to adapt to new challenges and fields quickly. Take a look at some of my favourite projects from the past.
Some of the topics I'm currently working on are: #futuremobility #ai #techethics
