Hello, I love designing digital products and software and creating outstanding user experiences for and with people. UX & UI Designer with strategy, empathy and team spirit, I create digital solutions that not only look good – but actually work for the people who use them. I take a holistic approach – from concept to pixel-perfect execution – and enjoy working at the intersection of UX, UI and development. Design is my profession – but creativity shapes my everyday life. My walls are full of artwork that tells stories. Hiking gives me perspective. Weight training, meditation, fresh air – I enjoy this mix of movement, stillness and curiosity. It brings me back to myself – and sometimes sparks completely new ideas.
