About

I'm a passionate interaction designer who wants to bring humanity into our digital spaces. I believe in the power of technology not just to serve but to understand and engage with us on a deeper level. At the heart of my work lies a poetic and relatable approach to how we connect with tech emotionally. I show this through interface design and prototypes that allow me to bring complex emotional interactions to life.

Projects

2024

I explored how to make music listening a more joyful and connected experience even when you are alone, by bringing the feeling from the party into our interfaces.

2024

My last relationship ended in Dez 2022. And honestly, this left me heartbroken. Even now, I still think of it almost daily. Of course, I’ve had some good moments since then and I am still navigating through loss, sadness, sorrow and anger related to the breakup.

Here, I want to share one of my tries to deal with all these different emotions. I spend a lot of time on my phone & asked myself how the interfaces of the apps that I use daily could reflect my heartbreak.

You’ll see different explorations of how interfaces for the brokenhearted 💔 could look like. Adding a splash of social commentary and a lot of feelings, I’m trying to represents my emotional world right now.

Side Projects

Ongoing
Queer Posters

Yes, I am queer & now that my life has stabilized a bit, I want to open a new path by volunteering my design skills for queer organizations.

I’m eager to actively be part of the queer community and contribute to our shared spaces.

I’m a trained designer who focuses on interfaces, but I love creating colourful posters and anything graphical. I’d be thrilled to chat about what you need and see how we can collaborate to make something meaningful!
