UX Designer with a
Diploma in Industrial Design

My Interest in UX design was sparked 20 years ago by the book “Don’t make me think” and has accompanied me throughout my design career ever since. One of the main takeaways has to be, how even small changes can make a big difference for a product to succeed.

Seeking a new challenge in UX Design and an interest in product development with an emphasis on education. We all have something to learn.

Tools to get the job done


Figma -  Protyping, Design Systems and  Collaboration
Miro - One Board to rule them all
Lucidchart
Optimal Workshop
UsabilityHub
Trello

Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign
Cinema4D

What I thrive for.

Putting myself into the shoes of others made me a better designer and is my best asset as a UX Designer among others, for example:

• Being self-employed taught me to stand on my own two feet and manage projects in their entirety from A to Z.
• Working as Graphics Expert in Customer Service and as a large order expert taught me the value of user feedback in order to improve internal processes and user experience of our products.
• Leading a production team at TicToys sharpened my eye for building and optimizing production cycles and production processes.

I am currently looking for a new team to join as a UX Designer.

I am also eager to get to know colleagues from the Leipzig area ...just drop me a message and let's meet for a coffee.

Other interest and hobbies

Neighbourhood garden Leipzig - I am a sturdy member for many years now and part of the steering committee which keeps this project up and running. I love the sense of community; we can live here and the opportunities this non-profit garden project is able to offer people from all backgrounds. www.nachbarschaftsgaerten.de

One of the things I enjoy most is using my woodworking skills to build and repair for the project, also being the contact person for the woodworking shop.

Being active - I like to stay healthy and fit. I follow a vegetarian diet with lots of plant proteins. I go running two to three times a week and doing some calisthenic workouts whenever I get the chance.

When working with a computer all day long, it is very important to stretch every now and then, keep your joints moving and remember to strengthen your body.

The arts - I love expressing myself with art in a very broad sense and I am not limited to one particular technique or form. Let it be painting, sketching, music or movement. If it manages to resonate with me, I am doing it.

I often start with the spark of an idea and then following my intuition without the limitations of a goal or a specific timeframe.

Let's talk.
