Servus, I'm Markus and hopefully your next team lead. I've been a Ray since 2010 and have been through almost every level as a designer. In the past eleven years, I have had the privilege of working as a designer for numerous clients, such as Deutsche Bahn and MAN. The focus of my work is on systematic design that offers enough space for creativity. The professional proximity to our developers is particularly important to me.
I am always open to hearing your questions and issues and will always discuss your further development with you.
As soon as you start, I will introduce you to our XD team and show you what is important to us and what makes us so special. Our team consists of more than 30 helpful experience design experts with different expertise in UX, visual, motion and content design. Mutual support is very important to us.
During your first few days, you will be accompanied by your personal Ray Insider, who will introduce you to the entire company from his or her perspective.
What I really appreciate about Ray Sono is the respect for my private life. This is achieved through flexibility and full overtime compensation.

Your future team
Always in a team, always interdisciplinary
Our projects are varied in terms of scope, topics and complexity. We cover almost the entire digital spectrum. For example, McDonalds marketing campaigns, a corporate website for Bayern Tourismus, and highly functional product & service developments for Voith. In our team, we XDs are strategic, conceptual, creative, innovative, consultative and operative. Often agile, often in Scrum and always very close to the user.
We love overcoming the challenges of our customers and the problems of their users. We always have the optimal solution in mind: attractive, relevant and holistic digital experiences that inspire. Always in a team, always interdisciplinary.
Good communication within the team is important to us
We achieve good results together. Our communication formats help us to benefit from the professional diversity of our team.
In our weekly breakfast session, we exchange ideas on current projects, show our results and talk about learnings.
Every two months we take time for our Open Space and mutual training. Always happy to have external guests as well. I am particularly proud of our last Figma Special: it was organised by Jana, Belinda and Marc and had the quality of a conference – even remote!
For focus topics such as user research, our specialists form small working groups and drive these topics forward professionally.
In the daily doing we help each other with sparring, the 4-eyes principle and thus increase the quality of our projects.
I myself have learned the most directly in the projects. I trust my XDs and place a lot of value on working independently at eye level. In my view, this is the best way to learn and grow.
I want to bring out every XD potential that lies dormant in you and grow together with you. That's why we create your personal development plan together. Digital is simply too fast-moving for us to afford you to stand still.
I look forward to meeting you!
