Analysis, creation, storytelling, graphic design, prototyping, programming: Working at the intersection of all of these disciplines, our definition of ‘design’ goes beyond visuals and beyond usability. To an interplay of creative and technical expertise at the highest level. To a full spectrum of digital tools used to solve the problem at hand.
Expertise that’s greater than the sum of its disciplines creates products greater than the sum of individual features.
To us, design means:
Making things work
We see ourselves as a sparring partner for leaders. At the end of every collaborative project, we have a well thought out product, a functioning prototype, a concept that can be implemented immediately – and a concrete solution, always.

The Illustree Management
David Höller, co-founder and CEO of the design studio ILLUSTREE Great User Experiences, is one of the leading user experience designers in the German-speaking world.
He is responsible for digital products and services that effectively propel his clients’ businesses forward. Since 1999, ILLUSTREE has been delivering user experience design and product design for clients such as Deutsche Bahn (German Railway Company), ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation), A1 Telekom Austria, City of Vienna, iSi, Global Blue, Becton Dickinson and the European Patent Office.
David is regarded as a thought leader and innovator in the field of user experience design. He lectures at the University of Applied Sciences FH Upper Austria in Hagenberg and gives talks about user experience, product design and design-driven innovation.
David Höller draws inspiration from his passion for relevant literature, music and travel.
As designers, we are
creative problem solvers.
The quality and precision of the
solution is what counts,
not the artistry in our sketches.
At Illustree Thomas Pfaller is responsible for conception and strategic planning. After gaining experience in the fields of digital media, database design and software architecture (amongst others with OPS, Vienna) he founded Illustree together with David Höller in 1999.
It is important to us
that everything
about our concepts
is immediately plausible.
From 2003 to 2013 Thomas Pfaller taught Multimedia Development as part of the Information Design course at the Joanneum, University of Applied Sciences in Graz.
Much like David, rock bassist Thomas devotes a substantial portion of his leisure time to music. His adoration of Frank Zappa goes to the extent that his son Mika even shares his birthday with old master Zappa.
