Marvin Messenzehl

I'm a design engineer at DAYY®, Germany's best design agency. We work with some of the world's most recognized brands. For example Red Bull, Allianz, Volvo, and Isar Aerospace. I care about the full picture: from the first sketch to the shipped thing.

Before DAYY®, I led design on the RTL+ iOS and tvOS apps. I started with podcast and music features, but over time took on the full scope of their mobile and TV platforms, shaping the experience for millions of users.

I got into this field through an unusual door. My master's in business informatics at the University of Mannheim led me to building and running the Innovation Lab at SV Informatik. It was a small team exploring new technology trends in insurtech. That's where I fell in love with building digital products.

After that I went freelance, working with companies ranging from early-stage startups to large corporates: LBS Group, Notch.so, enduco, ONVY, Hello Design, SAS, and Instaffo. Alongside that, I teach UX/UI design with Memorisely, helping the next generation of designers find their footing.

Outside of work I'm obsessed with endurance sports, reading, and spending time with my family and friends. I live in the German countryside.
