Eric SinghartingerExperience
Designer

My name is Eric Singhartinger

I’m an experience designer, a digital consultant, a coach, a facilitator, an enabler.

I design engaging interactive experiences, digital and physical, human to human and human to machine.

I want to help people achieve their goals easier, faster, more efficiently, and with more confidence and joy.

I work for agencies, startups and larger companies on their products, services and processes.

Key Skills

Besides making everything pretty, a11y, readable, understandable, easily digestible, and minimizing cognitive load, I developed a set of key skills that are crucial to deliver great results.

Artificial Intelligence

Right now I’m building agentic design systems at enterprise level: design systems that AI agents can read, use and extend, reliably and at scale.

That means spec-driven design, where every component is described in a machine-readable specification before a single pixel or line of code exists; custom agents and skills that take over research, design, documentation and quality checks; and deterministic engines that turn those specs into consistent results instead of random guesses.

The result: teams that move faster without losing quality, and design systems that keep up with the speed of AI.

Ergonomy & Psychology

Every single interaction anywhere, anytime requires an initial impulse, motivation, and effort to complete. The higher the motivation, the more effort users will accept to achieve their goals. To maximize user interaction, Experience Designers combine two powerful tools:

Behavioral patterns, which leverage a wide variety of psychological triggers (see below) that persuade users to take action and

UI patterns, which implement those behavioral patterns in the form of best practice components that help the users to complete their tasks and achieve their goals.

  • Tension & Closure

    Incompleteness drives resolution-seeking behavior.

  • Cheering

    Encouragement boosts confidence and motivation.

  • Autonomy Bias

    Overestimating one’s control over decisions and outcomes.

  • Endowed Progress Effect

    Motivation from artificial goal advancement.

  • Affect Heuristic

    Decisions driven by immediate emotional response.

  • Salience

    Distinctive elements capture attention.

  • Nudging

    Subtle guidance influences choices without limiting freedom.

    Get in touch

In the last two decades, I’ve worked with more and more of those roundabout 120 patterns consciously and have lots of experience choosing and implementing the right ones and thereby boosting business significantly.

Business & Constraints

To provide effective consulting, it’s essential to understand a company and its ecosystem as a whole. This includes analyzing the business model, industry landscape, competitors, trends, and target audience, as well as considering all existing products, services, and technical, legal and economical constraints.

In over 25 years, I have worked with many large companies from various industries. This has not only given me deep knowledge in diverse sectors but also the ability to combine insights and learnings across industries and bring new perspectives from the outside.

My Clients

Designer & Developer

As a UX/UI designer, I combine independent excellence with team leadership capabilities, leveraging deep development knowledge to bridge the designer-developer gap.

My strategic approach centers on agile prioritization – doing the right things right at the right time – while maintaining focus on feasible, iterative implementation for business growth.

Enabler & Facilitator

When not designing, I support teams as a facilitator, using strong communication skills to foster open dialogue and constructive conflict resolution. I create a supportive environment while maintaining focus and transparency, guiding teams toward their goals.
