SpeakLine Mac App Icon Over the last year I've redeveloped my first macOS project. This time I've moved the code base to Swift. So this is the first real Swift macOS app. SpeakLine is a small and handy text to speech tool. It has a simple UI and allows you to import text from text files, select from different voices and export your read out text to an audio file. Check it out, it's free!
MacRoumors redesign (part II) Last semester I participated in a digital typography course at my university. The task was to redesign one website with focus on typography. I've chosen MacRumors. My goal was to bring the look and feel closer to the Apple platform(s) with rounded corners, bold typography and the SF Pro font. Don't forget to check out the full design in the attachments! (Compared to the current design)

YouTube Apple TV Redesign YouTube is (together with Netflix) the most used app on my Apple TV. Using it all day drives it me nuts, that the subscription feed is aligned vertically with all these useless profile pictures below. Wouldn't it be nice to have this beautiful vertical grid with all these Video previews? Combined together with the prominenter watched states and the lovely colors from the new YouTube Design (in...

Touch Bar Preview for macOS As I recently designed a lot for the Touch Bar, I always stumbled about the real look and feel of the designed layout/icons/buttons on the Touch Bar. Therefore I've created a tiny app to preview your Designs on the Touch Bar. Just drag and drop a design inside the app and boom, you can see and even feel you design right in place! You can download the app here: https://touchbar.github.io PS: ...
New BreakOut Logo This year we had to redesign the branding for BreakOut. We wanted to create something modern, but without being too professional. Also we decided to stick with the orange as brand color, but in a different tone. This logo was done in a weekend design sprint with my friend Flo. Special Thanks to Flo for supporting me during the redesign process! BreakOut is a voluntary association located in Ge...

Radium for Apple TV Do you guys (still) know Radium? It's a nice radio app for iOS and Mac. Sadly it wasn't updated for a very long time. And in fact that I'm missing radio apps on my TV, I made this fast mockup. Seriously, why are there no good radio apps on TV?? Or can you recommend one? TV Mockups by UltraLinx PS: If you're a developer and want to bring this to life. Just contact me! ;)
