I'm Nils, and I'm here to delight your customers. Link to this headline
After 10+ experience in the field I understand the struggle of building successful digital products.
That's why I co-founded Dinghy, a place for business owners like yourself to thrive. Enabling Startups as well as established businesses to be successful in our digital landscape is what motivates me.
Having led teams of Designers and Frontend Engineers taught me what it takes to collaboratively make digital product take off.

My Journey Link to this headline
My professional journey is deeply routed in the startup universe of Berlin. Right after graduating from Computer Science and Design studies I started working as Frontend Developer at one of the many Rocket Internet Ventures back then.
After leading crucial platform re-designs with the team, I got called away for an exciting role as Lead Designer at SumUp.
SumUp was wildly scaling at the time and I got the chance, as Lead Designer, to spearhead product design, branding and frontend projects – always at the intersection of design and development. Closing the gap between the disciplines enabled the teams to move forward quickly and effectively.
Leaving SumUp was a hard choice but the Digital Nomad life called me into the next big challenge: Entrepreneurship.
Now with Dinghy I lead internal as well as customer projects and help to drive innovation in our service portfolio. Building Dinghy up from the ground is a dream come true and the biggest challenge yet!
