What have I done so far

What have I done so far

My background is interdisciplinary, photography, graphic design, managing a concept store in Berlin. I taught myself design while working other jobs, learning by doing on real projects.


Since then, I've been the sole designer on small startup teams, working on sustainability apps and cultural platforms.

I like the messy middle: shaping flows, asking questions, and bringing structure to ambiguous problems.


I'm ready to join a collaborative design team, working across diverse projects, learning from experienced designers, and contributing to work that matters.

Design Philosophy & Approach

Design Philosophy & Approach

I'm particularly curious about how people interact with technology, which drives my approach to problem solving. By combining behavior design principles with user research, I create accessible solutions that guide people naturally toward their goals.


I advocate for sustainability, accessibility in both design decisions and processes, ensuring we create lasting positive impact through thoughtful collaboration while driving business growth.

Iterative learning • I treat every project as a chance to learn. I iterate based on user feedback and team input, improving the design and my craft with each cycle.

Bridge Building Communication • I align cross-functional teams by translating design decisions into business impact and user value, ensuring everyone moves in the same direction.

What I value

Learning from others and embracing curiosity in every problem.

I believe design reaches its full potential when it's accessible and meaningful to diverse people.

I care about the people using my designs and the teams bringing them to life.
