UX design for ERP & business software

ERP that people like to use.

I design complex business software – from user research and workflows to the design system and its implementation.

Intro

I'm Johannes Klein, Senior Enterprise Product Designer in Bonn.

Since 2018 I have been the Lead Product Designer of a cloud-based ERP – with several desktop clients, mobile apps and add-ons. I work where it gets complex: many data types, many roles, many processes. My goal is software that makes experts faster instead of slowing them down.

What I stand for

I work best with product teams that develop their software for the long run – not with one-off redesigns that nobody maintains afterwards.

Good enterprise UX is invisible: it saves clicks, prevents errors and builds trust in the numbers.
