VS CodeAbout Me
The person
behind the
work.
I'm a UX/UI Designer with a strong background in Media Informatics, combining thoughtful design with a deep understanding of complex technical systems. My work focuses on making technology more intuitive — creating usable, engaging and inclusive interfaces that bridge the gap between people and sophisticated software.
Whether collaborating in interdisciplinary teams or working independently, I value structured thinking, open communication, and design decisions grounded in real user needs. I enjoy untangling complex problems and turning them into clear, intuitive experiences. I'm always curious to explore new methods and tools along the way.

FAQ
Questions I
get asked
often.
What kind of role am I looking for?
I'm looking for mid-level UX/UI Designer roles where I can bring both design and technical depth — ideally within organizations that value research-driven, inclusive, and impactful product experiences (start from October 2026, remote/hybrid).
What is my design process?
My process starts with understanding the problem, the users, and the context. I move from research to ideation, wireframing, and prototyping — continuously iterating based on feedback.
What does M.Sc. Media Informatics include?
My masters combine Human-Centered Design with Computer Science, covering a variety of areas such as HCI, UX/UI Design, Software Development, IT Security, and AI/IT Ethics — bridging the gap between design and development.
What makes me stand out?
I am more than a Designer. I combine UX thinking, visual design, and a solid understanding of development — creating solutions that are user-centered, visually engaging, and technically feasible.
What is my take on working with AI?
I love exploring new AI tools (while I do appreciate going back to basics with pen and paper) — especially during prototyping phases where they make experimenting faster, feedback easier to gather, and iteration more flexible and efficient. Always curious to try what's new.
