> Crafting experiences that are inclusive by design

Location: Rhein-Neckar Metropolitan Region, Germany

Hi! I’m a UI/UX designer with a strong design-system background and a hobby programmer, building indie games and web apps for learning, exploration, and joy.

My creative roots are in art and design. Sketching, experimenting with color, form, and visual language. Over time, curiosity about how things actually work led me into code. I’m self-taught in frontend development (JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, multiple frameworks), have basic backend experience (Python), and work with C# and Unity for game development. This mix allows me to take ideas from concept through implementation and reason about design decisions in a technical context.

I’ve worked hands-on with a design system for over two years, maintaining and evolving it from scratch. My work included designing scalable components, defining tokens and patterns, and collaborating closely with developers and multiple teams. I care deeply about consistency, clarity, and long-term maintainability, not just polished visuals.

Accessibility and UX are core to how I design. I know many WCAG guidelines by heart and have consulted several teams on accessible design and implementation, helping translate standards into practical, usable solutions. I think beyond compliance and focus on how different people actually experience products across abilities, contexts, devices, and use cases.

I enjoy seeing the big picture and understanding how all the pieces connect, from interaction patterns and visuals to code, systems, and real human needs. My goal is to build experiences that are not only functional and beautiful, but usable, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone.
