Experience

From words to wireframes: my path into user-centered design, and the people, products, and problems that shaped it along the way.

Career timeline

First contact with UX design

It started with a single question. While working as an SEO copywriter, a client asked whether I could dig into the design side of their product. That "can you figure this out?" turned into a genuine fascination with how people actually use the things we build, and my journey into user-centered design began.

Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien, HdM)

To turn curiosity into craft, I studied Mobile Media with a focus on UX Design and Research, graduating with distinction (final grade 1.2). These years gave me a solid foundation in research methods, accessibility, and design best practices.
