Strategic UX/UI & Product Innovation for the Digital-Physical Era Whydesign.works is a high-end design consultancy led by Marcel Oelschläger, a Senior UX/UI Specialist and Innovation Strategist with over 15 years of experience.

We specialize in solving the most complex challenges for global industry leaders, transforming intricate business logic into intuitive, award-winning digital-physical ecosystems. We don’t just design interfaces; we build strategic bridges.

In a world where digital platforms and physical products are increasingly inseparable, we help companies navigate the "in-between." From IoT-enabled agricultural solutions for Bayer AG to global design systems for ABB, our work defines the standards of modern B2B and Enterprise interaction. Our Core Expertise:

Complex B2B & Enterprise UX: We thrive on "data-heavy" environments. We specialize in translating deep functional logic—such as risk management platforms, analytical dashboards, and industrial back-office systems—into high-performance Power User interfaces.

Design System Engineering & Ops: We build the "source of truth" for your brand. Our team develops scalable, token-based design systems in Figma (e.g., for Busch-Jaeger/ABB) that ensure consistency across global platforms and seamless handoffs to engineering teams.

Strategic Product Innovation: Using a research-led approach (ISO 9241-210), we guide the entire product lifecycle—from qualitative user research and foresight studies to rapid prototyping and market-ready UI design.

Physical-Digital Integration: With a background in both Industrial Design and UX, we are uniquely equipped to design Product-Service Systems (PSS) where hardware and software work in perfect harmony. Why Partners Choose Us: We act as an integrated innovation partner.

Whether we are coaching internal teams to elevate their design maturity or leading a high-stakes redesign for a B2B marketplace, our focus is always on User-Centric Excellence & Technical
