Portrait of Manuel Lippmann

👋

Hi there! I am a product designer & developer with a a strong focus on digital products. I strive to create offers that solve real world problems and enhance people’s lives.

See my work Experience and CV

My main interest is the relationship between humans, society and technology. Rapid innovation of technology comes with countless opportunities. To generate a positive outcome for everyone, we should always think of the big picture when working with new technology.

When I am not working, I love to capture inspirational moments with my camera, fly my FPV quadcopter or go explore our beautiful planet on my trusty bicycle.

I am also deeply in love with water and boats, especially sailboats. This love brought me to be a part time sailing instructor, skipper and blue water explorer.
