About me

Using my skills to empathize from the users‘ and business point of view, I identify and understand challenges and present solutions via carefully designed and evidence-based web applications, corporate identities and design systems from early concept to handoff.

When not designing, I learn new vegan recipes, try to stay fit with crossfit and travel the world whenever I get the chance and capture it all on my Instagram.
