I'm Katja Mähleke, a UI/Interaction Designer based in Copenhagen, with practical experience in Figma, design systems, components and front-end collaboration. I create wireframes, high-fidelity screens and interactive prototypes, and I’ve self-taught After Effects to produce UI assets like icons and micro-interactions. I’m comfortable joining cross-functional sprints and syncs with product, analytics and engineering teams, and I’m open to on-site collaboration. Beyond design, I bring hands-on front-end familiarity (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind) and a passion for accessible, responsive interfaces. I enjoy shaping visual identity, prototypes and motion graphics, and I continually learn new tools to elevate projects.
