“People used to tell me this world is full of problems. Design taught me that these problems actually mean opportunities and it’s a privilege to be in the position to solve them.“

Profile
I am a certified UX Designer, trained Architect and currently UX/UI Lead for Amplifi Capital (London, UK).
As an Architect, I developed a passion for rallying teams behind a shared vision (architects would call this Parti). I learned to liaise with clients and stakeholders and juggle between the most diverse requirements: business, engineering, aesthetics, culture, legal and environment. I now leverage my extensive design education, strategic thinking skills and hypersensitive traits to bring competitive advantage to impact driven businesses.
I deeply care for our environment and the future of humanity as a whole. I have gained a wide understanding in sustainable and Circular Design practices. In the past, I worked on Berlin's biggest timber construction project and was awarded at hackathons for tackling food waste and making fashion circular.
“15 years of Design have taught me that everyone is a Designer - if they want it or not - and the real duty of a pro Designer is to educate them in how to design well.“
I am fascinated by the level of sophistication that our technology has reached and how it can make or break our behaviors. With the pandemic, I found the incentive to dare the quantum leap into the world of tech and offer my service as a UX/UI Designer.
My ultimate goal is to grow into a Design leadership role guiding teams in saving the world from bad Design: less waste, less frustration, more purpose.

Vision
Great Design begins with a vision of the change we want to see in the world. I help teams align behind clear outcomes to gain agility.
Craft
I embrace Design as a collaborative and iterative process guiding teams from low- to high-fidelity until the impact becomes tangible.
Simplicity
In today's complex society, simplicity is my north star. Striving for simplicity fosters a culture of innovation.
