Focus today: UX design & software development. The broader mix grew from self-employment, where I took on many disciplines at once. Graphic design, photography and content writing I now bring into UX projects when a client wants them and it improves the product, as a smaller part of my work. Alongside my Federal Vocational Baccalaureate in natural sciences and psychology, my deeper knowledge of psychology is self-taught from academic literature and current studies, and it flows directly into my UX practice. One thread throughout: the human at the centre, from care to product.

About

Designing thoughtfully,
shipping purposefully

I've always had a love for technology and design, but my path didn't begin with either. For nine years I worked in healthcare at a large university hospital, in work that was mostly medical-technical and logistical, and spent close to a decade engaged with psychology. I worked in large, cross-functional teams, onboarded and mentored new colleagues as well as prospective employees on trial days, and developed the team's competency model. After a few years in the workforce I went on to complete my Federal Vocational Baccalaureate, specialising in the natural sciences and psychology, followed by a university entrance qualification, all while continuing to work in healthcare alongside my studies. That grounding in people still shapes how I work today: I approach a product the way I once approached a person, with genuine curiosity about what they need and why they behave the way they do.

Creativity ran alongside all of it from early on. I had been photographing since 2016, well before I completed my Baccalaureate. A couple of years later I began taking on graphic design work on the side, which soon led to my first UI and web design commissions. I also wrote content for websites, blogs and social media. I co-founded and ran two startups, owning the full journey end to end: developing the product itself, from sourcing the materials to finding the right suppliers and manufacturers, alongside the design, brand, marketing and business decisions, while directing a small team and coordinating a network of external partners across influencers, distribution and sales to bring the products to market. In 2023 I earned my UX Design certificate from Google, and that was when everything came together: my experience working with people, my background in psychology, my experience in design and my love of solving problems weren't just a profession I had chosen, but strengths that came to me naturally. From there I took on UX projects for private clients, within teams, for companies and for my own projects, work I genuinely love and quickly realised I was good at.

On several of those projects I started contributing to the code, and I discovered how much I genuinely enjoyed it. Before long I was building entire projects on my own, captivated by creating something from zero. I'm still teaching myself the fundamentals, an ongoing process, while bringing my UX expertise and software development together, moving steadily from pure design toward the technical side without ever losing sight of the visual craft. Most recently I started a Cybersecurity Specialist certificate with Google, deepening the technical side even further. And through all of it, one thing never changes: in everything I do, the human stays at the centre.

What I do best

Where I'm strongest

UX Design
  • Inventing products & ideasSpotting gaps others overlook and shaping them into original, genuinely useful products and ideas.
  • Interaction designDesigning flows, states and micro-interactions so the next step is always obvious and the product feels effortless to use.
  • PersonasDistilling research into vivid, believable personas that keep the whole team designing for a real person, not an abstract user.
  • User journeysMapping the end-to-end journey to surface pain points and the moments that matter most before any solution is designed.
  • Information architecture & user flowsStructuring complex, multi-step products so they feel simple and intuitive to move through.
  • WireframesWorking out structure and layout in low-fidelity wireframes first, so decisions are made before any visual polish.
  • PrototypingMoving fast from wireframes to interactive high-fidelity prototypes that can be tested for real.
  • Usability testing & iterationTesting early with real users, finding where they stumble, and refining until the friction is gone.
Software Development
  • 0 → 1 product thinkingShaping ideas for products that don't yet exist, or aren't yet mature, defining how they should work and bringing them all the way to a built, working product.
  • Feature inventionConceiving new features for existing products and building them in, measurably lifting the experience.
  • System architectureDesigning the full architecture and the logic behind every screen, function ahead of form, so even complex products hold together and feel effortless to use.
  • Vision & self-teachingKnowing exactly how something should look and behave before it exists, and teaching myself whatever the build demands, however complex or unfamiliar.
  • Privacy & security by designBuilding privacy and security in from the first line, protecting users without starving the business of the data it needs.
  • Usability in the buildDesigning usability into the code as I write it, so the right experience is there from the first version.
  • Problem solvingAnticipating issues and finding solutions before they ever reach a user, and tracing even the most tangled problems to their true cause to engineer the fix.
  • Testing & validationTesting the product thoroughly, both on my own and through usability testing with real users, to make sure it genuinely works.
