About
Information – Digital Product – Strategy
For me, design is a powerful tool that we can use together with specialist disciplines to question the course of things. In an increasingly alienated digital sphere, it is important to me to design tools that promote participation and agency. At the interface of strategy, product development and UX, I want to contribute to the development of functional, but also individually meaningful and sustainable products. My skills focus on the design of information spaces and interaction. My strengths include a holistic view, in-depth research and a broad repertoire of design methods for developing creative solutions. I am particularly interested in digital technologies, life sciences and processes of cognition and learning. What makes me stand out in what I do is my inquiring mind, my empathy and critical questioning. Thinking innovatively, listening with heart and acting systematically: this is what a successful design process essentially looks like for me. I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree in “Visual Communication” at the Berlin University of the Arts with a thesis on learning applications in medical studies. As a tutor and intern, as well as during stays at the Parsons School of Design and the Zurich University of the Arts, I was able to broaden my perspective and methodology.
