Tobias Kauer is a designer, engineer, and researcher who has spent over a decade studying how people make sense of data and building the interfaces that help them do it. With a PhD researching data-driven storytelling and a background spanning data visualization engineering at Nokia Bell Labs, HCI research at Autodesk and the Urban Complexity Lab, and a stint as Creative Director at sinnwerkstatt, he brings an unusually analytical lens to product design.
Currently he works as a Product Designer at Celonis, designing for one of the most data-dense environments in enterprise software: process mining. His work sits at the intersection of real data, interactive prototypes, and the unglamorous truth that Figma was never built for this.
