About

WHO AM i?

My origin story begins in the small town of Göttingen (Germany), where I was born and raised until age 14. I then emigrated with my family to New Zealand, where I completed my last 3 years of high school in sunny Nelson and went on to begin and complete my tertiary studies in windy Wellington.

Outside of work

I'm a hobby enthusiast. I love trying new crafts, exploring new places and eating awesome food. I also like to get my cardio in at the pools or on the football (soccer) pitch.

This year's goal is to find the courage to attempt getting into some form of dancing.

Work Experience

Over the last 5 years, I’ve gained design experience in the Agritech and Ecommerce industries. These experiences came with a range of responsibilities which included working across discovery, product strategy, interaction design, prototyping, testing, and delivery. Additionally, I've done extensive work in design system strategy and build, which is one of my bigger passions when it comes to user experience design.

Philosophy

I value design that is accessible to anyone and a design community that encourages growing together.
