Hello, nice to meet you!
My name is Katrin and I am a UI designer with a background in branding of over ten years.
Due to this, I have a deep knowledge in communication and empathy with various national and international customers. In the project teams I led, I longed for design solutions that were tailored to their respective target group. That’s why I know how to support a brand and strengthens its appearance. I have worked in agencies and on the corporate side. This experience helps to provide an overall impression and know-how that not only focuses on the product, but also on the overall design of the brand in the market.
As a natural result, I have brought my passion for Product Design to the next, professional level with being a certified UI Designer.
Starting point of my work is my fascination to really understand users pain points and their needs. Diving into user interviews and user testing from early stage on is essential to end up with product design that solves problems and help users to simplify their lives.
