design
The best design is the one you never notice. Why I use the house as a metaphor for good design, and what Pixar, a Fab Lab and a palace in Barcelona taught me about it.

“What I particularly value about working with Raphael is his real interest in the product and his ambition to truly understand it. At the start, we invested a lot of time so that he could understand us, our mindset and the product. That time was absolutely worth it: afterwards he presented designs in which I felt seen and understood for the first time. He also tries things out, is bold at times, and gives feedback with a clarity that many people don't dare to. He is always proactive, interested in finding a path together, and willing to compromise for the sake of the cause.”„An der Zusammenarbeit mit Raphael schätze ich besonders, dass er echtes Interesse am Produkt hat und den Ehrgeiz es wirklich zu begreifen. Wir haben am Anfang viel Zeit investiert, dass er uns, unser Mindset und das Produkt verstehen kann. Die Zeit hat sich absolut gelohnt, denn er hat daraufhin Designs präsentiert, in denen ich mich zum ersten Mal abgeholt und verstanden fühlte. Außerdem probiert er Dinge aus, ist dabei mal mutig und gibt einem aber auch Feedback in einer Klarheit, die sich viele nicht trauen. Er zeigt sich immer proaktiv und ist an einem gemeinsamen Weg interessiert und dafür auch kompromissbereit für die Sache.“

“At Kwintely Intelligence, we operate in the legal tech space with a focus on intellectual property, and we can highly recommend Raphael Haus as a UI/UX designer. In particular, he drew on his many years of experience to support our development team, and more than a few “nerdy ideas”, in a critical and constructive way. He proactively brought in his own suggestions and always kept an eye on the UI/UX details that matter. His support was enormous. Our platform would not be where it is today without him, and it would most likely be considerably more cumbersome to use.”„Mit Kwintely Intelligence operieren wir im Legal Tech Bereich mit Fokus auf Intellectual Property und können Raphael Haus als UI/UX Designer sehr empfehlen. Insbesondere hat er unser Entwicklungsteam und so manche ‚nerdy idea‘ kritisch und konstruktiv mit seiner langjährigen Erfahrung begleitet, proaktiv eigenen Vorschläge gemacht, und immer mit dem Blick für die nötigen UI/UX Details massiv unterstützt. Unsere Plattform wäre ohne ihn nicht auf dem heutigen Stand und sehr wahrscheinlich bedeutend sperriger in der Bedienung.“

For me, the essence of design is designing for positive impact: in the products we make, in the systems that make them, and in the teams behind them.

Good design comes from the combination of three things: Care, Skill and Experience. Why each of them matters and how they shape my work.
