Max Pinkert — UX & Product Design

  1. Max — a figure with a dark bob and a red top, on a soft red ground

    Hi, my name is Max, nice to meet you!

    I’m currently studying Digital Design & Innovation at CODE University of Applied Sciences. I developed a passion for wondering about design in the context of children and education. And generally someone who is curious about experiences and aims to explore, ideate and create experiences.

  2. Now back to you, recently I stumbled upon a question, you might also ask yourself:

    How might we come to a decision to hire or not hire Max?

  • Let’s skip this

  1. Happy to do that, feel free to explore my portfolio in your own pace and style!

    Here a few links to get your started:

  • Tell me more

  1. Let me introduce the team who tackled this How-might-we question:

  2. Moritz — a figure in green, facing a dark triangle

    Hi there, I’m Moritz, a fellow designer, looking for connection or inspiration.

  3. Karina — a figure in pink with a dark rounded haircut

    Hello dear, my name is Karina, a recruiter, browsing profiles and checking if Max’ profile suits what we are looking for.

  4. Paula — a figure in yellow, half in shadow

    Nice to meet you, I’m Paula, Max’ future boss, I want to understand the skillset and preferably see his work and projects, Karina already introduced me to his CV.

  5. Want to find out how they tackled the question?

  • YES!
  1. Moritz, Karina and Paula together

    The first question that popped to our mind was, how can we understand who Max is? Which material or research would we need?

  2. Is it a simple Resume ?

  3. Do we browse through his projects, for example

    How might we rebrand our marketing material?

  4. Should we read through reference letters of previous employees?

  5. Or do we get a better picture of him by looking at his inspiration ?

  6. How about creating a tool that evaluates Max’ fit to a given role or project?

  • Sounds promising, tell me more!

  1. The idea is to create a kind of questionnaire regarding the desired role and matching the expectations to the skillset and experience.

  2. Resulting in statements like such:

    Max ticks all the boxes except ... .

    You can find proof looking at project x.

    Are you willing to trade off ... against ... ?
