I’m a Product/UX Designer and an M.Sc. User Experience Design student in Ingolstadt, with hands-on experience designing end-to-end experiences across AI SaaS, e-commerce, education, and enterprise products. I’m especially focused on mobile UX, user research, interaction design, and turning complex workflows into clear, intuitive product journeys—while keeping the UI craft polished and accessible. In my recent work, I shaped student onboarding and progress experiences for a cross-device education platform, and I also redesigned navigation and roles for a university platform to improve clarity for both students and administrators. I enjoy working through the full UX process—research, information architecture, wireframes, interactive prototyping in tools like Figma/Framer/Jitter, and design system thinking—so teams can validate solutions quickly and ship confidently.
