Short Intro

Hey, I’m Matthias. A Creative Digital Architect helping companies to master digital trans-formation and innovation.

With over 15 years of experience in software development, UX, innovation, and digital transformation, I help mid-sized to large companies plan, launch and deliver digital initiatives faster, more effectively, and with measurable business impact. I bring structure to messy project starts, make ideas tangible early, and help teams avoid expensive missteps – acting as a sparring partner, a bridge between tech & business, and an innovation driver for key technologies like AI, IoT, or XR.

Besides my consulting activities I am the Founder & Managing Director of the leading XR and Computer Vision company The Spatial Studio.

I’ve helped many hidden Champions and renowned corporations in the digital space.

Happy to learn about your challenges.

Value, not just Advice

Does this sound familiar?

What’s behind it Digital initiatives grow across departments – tools, projects, data and responsibilities become fragmented. The big picture gets lost.

How I help I create clarity across stakeholders, define a shared target picture and structure initiatives into a practical transformation roadmap.

What you get A clear direction, better alignment, less fragmentation – and a plan that works in real operations.
