Mag. Mühringer Franz
Solution Experience Lead PM
I'm Franz Mühringer, Solution Experience Lead PM at Dynatrace — leading product management for AI-powered SaaS experiences. A decade of design and engineering is what makes me unusually good at it.
My educational journey at the Universität für angewandte Kunst honed my skills in graphic design, advertising, and various creative tools, including Cinema 4D, Blender, After Effects, and Figma. My academic path focused on fostering innovation through collaborative interdisciplinary projects.
Currently, I am working as a Solution Experience Lead PM at Dynatrace, leading product management for solution experiences in AI and SaaS. Previously, I gained valuable experience at Alpine Metal Tech as an UI/UX Designer & Software Developer. This role allowed me to lead UX/UI design, manage projects, and create a UI library in C# and Figma.
As a self-employed professional and co-founder at HYPHE OG, I've had the privilege of serving clients such as SONY Music and the SLASH Filmfestival. My commitment to excellence has earned me awards, including European Design Award Silver and ADC Bronze. Beyond work, I find joy in cycling, hiking, films, and craftsmanship.
If you're seeking a creative collaborator or want to discuss design and technology, don't hesitate to reach out to me or connect with me on LinkedIn.
