This is me
I'm a product designer focused on creating a more inclusive, connected world.
I'm a product designer focused on creating a more inclusive, connected world.
What I love about Product Design is the discussion between multiple disciplines on how best to define, approach and
determine success for a solution. I enjoy the abstract communication of trying to extract useful data points from
user research. Interdisciplinary collaboration is also highly fulfilling, working together with a variety of
skillsets and perspectives gives ample opportunity for learning and it increases the variables at play for each
project. No day is ever the same.
That's something which I value highly in my personal life as well. Meeting new people, experiencing new things and
cultures. During my time spent living in Germany I have had the pleasure to meet many people from all different kinds
of backgrounds during my German integration course, degree and working at trivago. That has really inspired me to
seek out new adventures and broaden my horizons.
D.med Healthcare
My first student working position was at D.med where I worked on a variety of deliverables from print, to social media,
to videos, and assisted with designing/developing their website via WordPress. I was the sole designer at the company and
I learned a lot about working in a corporate environment. Such as managing deadlines, professional communication and
prioritisation of tasks.
trivago, communication design
My experience at D.med helped me secure another student position at trivago. My responsibilities in this role were very
similar to my previous position. However, the standard of work for approval was considerably higher. Luckily, I joined a
team of senior communication designers who were very supportive. I learned a lot about executing the craft while
incorporating a design system and corporate guidelines. Plus, I learned a lot about collaborating with stakeholders and
other designers.
trivago, product design internship
As part of my bachelor's degree I am required to do a mandatory internship. I took this as an opportunity to get into my
preferred field, UX design, which is the reason I started my degree in the first place. During this internship I got the
opportunity to work on UX research, prototyping, updating design systems and generally contribute to the product
discovery & delivery through the Jobs to be Done and Continuous Discovery UX frameworks. A highlight of my time during
the internship was getting one of my projects approved to go live on the website.
Key tools:
Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, UserZoom, Miro, Mural, HTML/CSS, Marvel, Keynote, Adobe Creative Suite, Jira
Key skills:

You'll find me to be empathetic, open-minded, culturally aware, and diligent. These qualities have assisted me not only in my user-centred designs. But, also in my experience working alongside diverse communities, from colleagues at trivago, fellow students in my bachelor's and my German integration course.
While I'm still very much at the outset of my product design career. I'm fully aware to have even made it this far, it's required the support and generosity of many people. At some point, I'd like to be in a position to give back through mentorship, workshops, or maybe even public speaking. But, for now I'm looking for positions which will give me the opportunity to develop myself through training and ample opportunity to try new things with the goal of mastering my craft.
