Tilo Erwin
I'm a UX/UI designer with a focus on interaction design and digital product solutions. I specialize in developing design systems, crafting holistic interaction strategies, and delivering visually cohesive design solutions. I believe design goes beyond aesthetics – it should be meaningful, user-centered and enhance everyday experiences through technology. My goal is to create intuitive, accessible interfaces that balance user needs with simplicity and elegance.
Case
Monitoring Solution for Automotive IT Landscape
In a design sprint for an automotive client, we developed a monitoring solution that simplifies IT data through a tangible 3D map, split-screen views, and visual KPI summaries. A lightweight design system brought the concept to life and set the stage for future development.
Case
ESG Report: Prepared to Create Impact
To support transparent sustainability communication, Alphabet commissioned the design of its first digital ESG report. We created a bold, adaptable visual concept with clear data storytelling and a flexible template system—setting the foundation for future ESG communications across markets.
Case
Create. Control. Collaborate. A New Digital Workplace
An automotive manufacturer introduced a Low-Code/No-Code platform to let employees create custom apps without coding. We designed a scalable governance solution for onboarding, app management and secure sharing — fully integrated into existing IT systems. It enables efficient, cross-team collaboration for diverse user roles.
