work experience

since November 2021 | ux designer (full time)
As part of a multidisciplinary team, I am working on improvements to the navigation, search and filtering experience of users. Based on user research (such as user testing, user interviews and surveys) and competitor/benchmark analysis, hypotheses are formed and evaluated using a variety of methods (such as usability, A/B or smoke tests). 

At the same time, I regularly develop new landing pages in order to help new users, business customers and potential business partners access the product. For this, I prepare and lead workshops with stakeholders from other departments to understand the problems and requirements on the business and customer side and to design appealing solutions for the hypotheses raised. 

As the person responsible for the design system, I communicate the benefits of a unified look and feel to the various stakeholders and work with the design and development team in two development languages on initiatives to get closer to this vision.
