Christoph Fahlbusch
Product design, strategy, and native systems
About
I build systems for productivity. My work isn't mainly about pixels (even though I love it), it's about decision-making under constraints, and the impact on the organization's strategy, and roadmap.
I've led design for complex transitions, like moving millions of users from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do, and defining how developer tools like GitHub work on a phone.
I work best when the problem is ambiguous, and the stakes are real. I value written culture, asynchronous work, and teams that treat design as a strategic lever.
I live in Germany, and work remotely.
