Projects

2024

After intensive research and user interviews, we launched the Adaptive Fashion section on Zalando focusing on addressing accessibility and inclusion. Not only the user can shop for fashion items that are tailored to their needs, but also they will find the navigation is barrier-free.

2022

At Marley Spoon, how the user rates their recipes is not only a question of user engagement, but it is also the ONLY resource for the culinary team to decide which recipes to recreate and which ones to abort. As a new joiner with a research background, I took over the responsibility for a smooth product launch and future feature development.

2019

The homepage has always been the “hot spot” for various department in USC. We were going to launch our new branding system, while experiments about the “Value proposition” were being brought up. Later, we also explored a new product strategy for online class offerings due to the sudden pandemic.

Writing

2023

This book creates space for actors in the creative industries who are negatively affected by racism and questions the status quo. Perspectives that have been made invisible are consciously brought to the fore. A separate space is created that invites you to think about a racism-critical and better future. With critical analyzes of the future, present and past of the creative industries, the authors reveal power relationships. This makes an inequality of participation and resources clear. The texts, written in both prose and poetry, convince with their personal perspective.
