My story

Designed my first interface in preschool

As a kid l liked Kinder Surprise. Once I got a spacecraft inside the chocolate egg! To play with it I drew a control panel on a sheet of paper. This is my design origins.

Growing up nurtured my curiosity

The world around me was full of questions and I wanted answers. My young mind started asking a lot of questions. That set the mindset of the researcher.

Got lost. What path to choose?

I had to make a choice. My creative and technical sides collided. I was passionate about design, but also loved cybersecurity.

Established the digital presence for the innovative dental startup

Problem

Paper prescriptions and landline calls are the main communication methods for dental practices and labs. Lacking real-time responsiveness, they create silos between dentists and lab technicians.

Solution

AI-powered chat app that improves collaboration between dental professionals.

My role

I conducted holistic product research and, based on the findings, created an interactive mobile app prototype. To promote the startup, I developed a landing page in Framer. Essentially, I designed every digital asset to support Presto on its way to VC funding.

Designed the platform for better mental health treatment

Problem

Treatment programs need efficient tracking and positive outcome support. Family has to be included in the treatment experience, but current tools don't allow them to easily track patients' progress.

Solution

A platform that seamlessly connects family and clinical staff with the patient.

My role

Conducted workshops, including card sorting and user interviews. Then, I focused on creating a clean and functional interface. The biggest challenge was to go through dozens of treatment plan workbooks and translate the clinical program into the UI.

Created the app for seamless itinerary planning

Problem

Creating travel itinerary is tedious. There are too many factors to consider, like weather and travel information which are scattered across different sources.

Solution

An app that aggregates all information in one place and shows personalised tips to smooth the planning process.

My role

I was involved both in the design and discovery phases of the product. To establish core user needs I used my empathy skills and built user personas. Then, to design an intuitive flow, I created User Journey Maps. Additionally, I performed competitor research and created the design system.

Designed next-generation habit forming mobile app

Problem

People have become too consumed by mobile devices. Their digital addiction impacts their well-being and everyday functioning. Due to addiction to games and social media, people's mental health has started to decline.

Solution

An app that turns excessive screen time into a gateway for building healthy habits.

My role

Conducted research and designed the mobile app, applying knowledge of behavioral psychology to create better habit-forming flows. Iterated through multiple versions to reduce the friction of adding and developing positive habits.

Other collaborations

Confidential projects

Designed an internal system for an independent Swiss bank with a total 296 CHF billion of client assets. Took part in user interviews and created an asset management system for bank tellers.

Being part of the design team, I engaged with one of the largest news agencies. The goal was to design a developer portal, where devs can conveniently manage their keys and access company API.

Once a year, world leaders gather in Davos to discuss the most pressing issues. TopLink, a social network, required an event management for the Davos event. I designed it and improved the usability of the app.
