The Team

Chris Weier

Founder, Strategic Experience Designer, Workshop Designer & Facilitator

Since the dot-com era, Chris' passion has always been to create enjoyable and meaningful digital products and services.

Starting her career as a self-taught Developer, she soon realized she was striving to create great digital experiences as a UX and later also UI Designer. She wanted to have a job where no day is like the other, constantly learning and being challenged. That's why she founded kontor eins digital in 2007 and her first startup in 2008.

Chris is an Explorer and a Sprinter: She is best in an environment of uncertainty and creativity and thrives when being able to execute at a blistering pace.
