About

Bio

I’m Niklas Klein, a Berlin based passionate Senior UI/UX designer with a strong background in branding, with over a decade of professional experience.

I began my journey in Munich, studying communication design with a focus on typography and interaction design. My experience spans clients from diverse cultural and industrial backgrounds.

My goal is to create compelling user interfaces that provide a great user experience and reflect the identity of the brand. I combine in-depth UX knowledge with visual storytelling to achieve a lasting impact on the target audience.

If you are looking for a designer who bridges the gap between UX, branding, and interface design, I am ready to assist you.
