One Day in the Life of a UX Designer at GDF

What is UX Design? First of all, UX stands for User Experience. A user experience describes all aspects, impressions and experiences which a user will have with a product or service. In the case of GDF, UX design means the frontend design of our digital tools, which are then used by our customers. UX Design Expert Micha shares his daily business at the GDF with you.

What about Digitization & Communication?

Have you ever wondered how all the blog articles and all the LinkedIn posts find their way to you, to the GDF audience? All the stories about designing and developing customer centric digital solutions for Allianz Entities all over the world, all the insights, all the looks behind the scenes?

Is it a fruit or is it a vegetable?

Confusing headline, right? Yes, we agree! On the GDF blog we are usually talking about business related topics, so what has this question to do with? We will clarify: In the end of December some GDF colleagues celebrated a virtual event, a Project Team Quiz Night and this was just one of the funny questions.

eMerge 2020 - All Digital

On 24th and 25th of November our third annual developer conference, the eMerge 2020 took place. But this year we faced a special challenge.

Finally talking about Backend!

At GDF we are always talking about developing and designing very customer centric solutions. Mostly we focus on the design of the applications but not on the development or what happens in the backend. Today we do...

NDBX Deepdive

It's been a long time since we last talked about the Allianz New Digital Brand Experience. A quick reminder: Our Angular NDBX library provides OEs with ready to use design elements.
