Hello! I am a product-minded UI/UX Designer and academic with a unique background in architecture and design research. Based in Berlin, I specialize in translating complex content into clear, accessible, and human-centered digital interfaces.
Who I Am:
I bridge the gap between high-level design theory and practical, user-focused digital solutions. With over a decade of experience across the design spectrum—ranging from architectural research to university-level lecturing—I bring a disciplined, analytical approach to every product I touch.
My Most Important Skills:
End-to-End Product Design: I am proficient in the full design lifecycle, including creating user flows, personas, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI within Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
Research & Strategy: My academic foundation allows me to conduct rigorous UX research, including surveys, competitor analysis, and usability testing to inform information architecture.
Visual Communication: I have extensive experience building cohesive identity systems and component libraries that ensure brand consistency across all platforms.
What Differentiates Me:
What sets me apart is my spatial and structural thinking derived from my background in architecture. While many designers focus only on the surface, I approach interfaces as digital environments. My experience as a Design Lecturer means I don’t just “do” design; I understand the “why” behind human-centered and inclusive principles, allowing me to mentor teams and communicate complex design decisions to stakeholders with clarity.
Sector Experience
I have successfully delivered projects across various sectors, demonstrating my versatility:
Education & Academia: Spent years as a Lead Visual Designer and Lecturer, shaping curriculum and international symposium identities.
E-commerce: Designed mobile shopping applications, focusing on conversion-critical flows like product details and checkout.
Digital Media: Transformed static institutional content into interactive, searchable journal experiences.
Architecture & Culture: Conducted international research and modeling projects in Spain and Belgium, refining my eye for detail and precise visual documentation
