About
I’m a UX reseracher …
My main strength is my analytic mindset and my passion for research and complexity. I conducted several design research projects in the past where I was responsible for study design, data analysis and concept development. Playing volleyball at a competitive level for many years led me to call good communication and team collaboration the heart of my work approach. With my background in workshop facilitation and as founder of a social startup, I also enjoy presenting and talking to different stakeholders.
… who recently began coding …
Sometimes I also code, like this website. Once I become fascinated by something, I can immerse myself fully in it (which is why I actually code a lot right now). You’ll usually find me talking about ethics in design, initiatives and people that drive climate action, or great data visualization. Because every design is political!
… and hops on a (skiing) trail as soon as she sees one.
I enjoy fiddling around on a screen as much as taking some time off it. Like packing a tent and spending some days on a hike. The smell of roasted onions in the pan. Choosing the yarn for my next knitting project. Or playing countless rounds of Doppelkopf with friends.
