Bonjour!

knowing

I support my partners science startup knowing, which is still pre-seed. I built a small landingpage describing their aim to launch a product that provides simple, transparent and fast access to Life Science data using a cell map.

InDyNet

IndyNet is a network of scientists studying temporal changes in biological invasions and their impacts. My brother, Jonathan Jeschke, is coordinating this network. The fast loading website includes a service worker for basic offline support.

PreOmics

After the foundation of the science startup PreOmics, we launched a more comprehensive website including their different products. At some later point, we included a small Shopify online store.

♥My daugther was born!

PreOmics

I support two friends of mine with their science startup PreOmics which was still pre-seed in 2015. We launched a landingpage to explain their aim. PreOmics builds innovative tools for mass spectrometry based proteomics.

Publications

I interviewed five people for Design made in Germany about procrastination: Bastian Allgeier, Alexander Feyerke, Marc Thiele, Peter Kröner, Kai Brach (all in German).

Also I co-interviewed illustrator Judith Drews: Über den Weg der Geschichte vom Kopf zum Buch (German).

The science startup era

Besides working for big(ger) corporates, I regularly support small scientific projects and startups with design, frontend development and consultancy work.

IdeaClouds

IdeaClouds is a science startup offering a web collaboration tool for brainstormings, workshops and agile project work. I helped them improve the User-Interface and helped building the landingpage. I delivered HTML/CSS-Templates.

Interview

I was interviewed about freelancing by Design Made in Germany (German).

♥My son was born!

AlpenLuxus

I co-founded AlpenLuxus, which is an online portal for luxury wellness hotels. At some point later in time, I canceled my partnership but still support the project.

Publication

I wrote an article together with Gregor Stawinski about Webfonts: Wie war das mit den Webfonts? Eine Bestandsaufnahme (German).

The large(r) company era

The web was professionalising. Design became THE thing. Companies realized it and began to invest in (in-house) design teams.

I supported and still support companies in digital product design (UI/UX-design), working solo as well as with internal design teams. I now collaborate closely with Product Managers and developers in an agile environment.

Clients include AutoScout24, 1&1 (as well as GMX and Web.de) and holidu.

Publications

I wrote an article for Design made in Germany based on my diploma thesis: Wissensaustausch im Internet (German).

Also I co-interviewed Oliver Reichenstein Einblicke in die Arbeit der Agentur Information Architects aus Japan (German) and Frank Weymann Food Styling (German).

The blogging wordpress era

I designed and developed quite a bunch of wordpress sites. It was exactly the right time, as wordpress was on his way to become very popular.

Good examples of this time are some blogs I developed for MTV and VIVA (none of them are online any more).

The Encore era

I co-founded, art-directed and wrote for Encore, an online magazine on design, photography, illustration and film. Encore Magazine combined the look of a print magazine (how ironic, but hey, it was 2004!) with the interactivity of online technologies to create a unique experience that moved way, way beyond just reading an ordinary magazine. It was published by MagWerk until 2008.

Encore was very successfull, award-winning and never profitable. It was widely respected in the online design community. We gained a lot of recognition.

It was the same time, when websites were very experimental and artsy. It was a wonderful time for being a webworker. However, the web now is definitly more user friendly and professional.

Sadly we never mangaged to sell enough ads to make a living of it. However, I made a lot of friends and contacts and the project itself attracted quite some future clients.

The film-business era

The first paid (web)design jobs all came from the film-making business (for which I occasionally still work). I crafted websites for directors and authors, as well as small production agencies and independent movies.

The website of Anno Saul from 2003 is still online (although it went from a table based layout to a bunch of divs at some later point).

Also the website of Tom Bohn from 2008 still looks very similar up until today.

Nervousroom

I co-founded “Nervousroom“. It was an ezine about design (like K10K, Design is kinky, surfstation etc.) which evolved later in Encore Magazine.

Why it all started

Built my first website using HTML only to embed Flash (oh yeah :)) as a present to my girlfriend and the future mother of my kids.
