“How do companies get people excited about their products?”

TL;DR

My design process is guided by my background in copywriting, branding, and communications consulting. For me, it’s all about understanding people and getting them excited about a product by providing an exceptional user experience.

In my previous roles, I explored what makes people excited about products. As a copywriter, I used my skills to sell, but I realized writing alone couldn’t spark real excitement. So, I pursued a Master’s degree focused on branding and consumer insights and, as a communications consultant, worked on various marketing and communications projects across different industries.

I realized: everything comes down to experiences. Great customer experiences not only drive loyalty but also make products easier to sell. Similarly, great employee experiences attract and retain talent. I no longer wanted to just talk about these experiences – I wanted to help create them. So, I transitioned to UX design, where I now focus on helping companies craft products that people genuinely enjoy using.

My Design Principles

💬

Empathize

Honestly – I love asking questions. And I love listening to people talk about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This makes understanding user needs enjoyable for me, and I believe that work should be fun.

🤝

Collaborate

I believe that the fastest way to get meaningful results is by collaborating. In my previous jobs, I have worked in cross-functional teams and enjoyed learning from my co-workers and getting to chip in with my expertise.

Think first

If you need someone to quick-fire a gazillion suggestions with minimal information, I’m probably not the person you’re looking for. I prefer thinking possible solutions through first. I can make assumptions but I’d rather work with facts.

I live with my cats in my own little urban jungle in Berlin, but also...

I have lived in England, Finland, and Sweden before. I’m currently still learning Swedish, though I did give up on my Finnish after a year of trying, haha.

I dream of living in the countryside again one day. As someone who grew up in a tiny village, the hustle and bustle of Berlin can get a bit much at times.

I love trying out new haircuts. I’ve done it all, from buzzcut and pixie to mullet and wolf cut. But the lavender is here to stay.

When I’m not busy cooking delicious food, sending lengthy voice notes to my friends or cuddling my cats, you can find me at the poledancing studio (2025 goal: finally managing that invert 🙏).
