Selected Projects
Web-to-Print Design-Tool
I am thrilled to present my project about an innovative web-to-print design tool that I have meticulously developed with passion and dedication. The primary goal, which was also achieved, was to develop a web-to-print solution able to readily compete with—and outperform—market leaders. For this, I had to think outside the box to find new solutions for old problems in order to create a great user experience.

HabitHero
The focus of this project was to develop an app for cultivating habit development, taking into account both user needs and scientific knowledge. The app aims to make creating and sticking to habits easy and offers a catalog of ready-made habits, routines, and a mood tracker. It incorporates gamification elements and storytelling to motivate users. I conducted foundational research and interviews and created user personas and journey maps. The value proposition was defined, and the ideation involved merging user data with scientific evidence. The project successfully merged user needs and scientific insights into a unique habit app.

Design Needs Empathy
Great experiences begin with understanding. I explore what users need and what frustrates them, as well as how they interact with products. By combining these insights with business goals, I design solutions that make life easier for users and drive real value for the business.

Design Begins with Structure
I organize the findings, create a clear information architecture, and formulate a design hypothesis. The focus is on the value proposition in order to gain an understanding of what the user journey should look like.
Design for Clarity and Flow
Good design guides users effortlessly through the product. I identify problems, generate ideas and find solutions, which often require out-of-the-box thinking. I conduct usability testing and accessibility testing to ensure that each experience is clear and intuitive.
