I design fluid interactions between people and the systems they use, across brand websites, automotive platforms, hospital software, and flood-prep tools.

I'm a designer working on design systems, enterprise software and brand-driven websites. I prototype in code and ship (some) features directly.

I design in Figma, use Claude or Cursor to create quick prototypes and ship smaller features. Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects for some motion work, logo design and other stuff.

    At muse case, I design the digital touchpoints for a major automotive brand and build the design systems behind several website relaunches. I work close enough to the frontend team that I write the style guides myself, then check they hold up in the built page. I also prototype in code, with AI tools doing some of the typing, and ship the smaller features on my own.

    Alongside that, I take on agency-style briefs, brand-led websites and digital platforms built end to end. That work taught me to design a brand's identity and its user journey as one decision, made early, before the page layout got involved.

    At IBM Design Studios, I worked on enterprise cloud products, Watson Knowledge Catalog among them. I redesigned flows, ran usability tests, and wrote documentation other people used after I left. What stuck with me is how much a design system simplifies a complex product just by removing decisions before they reach the screen.

    In a workshop, I worked out the concept for a mobile app for a charitable initiative, then built the prototype myself.

    At HfG, studying Interaction Design, I learned to run the whole process myself, research, concept, prototyping, testing, and implementation. That's also where I picked up enough front-end code to stay part of the conversation once a design moves into development.

Smaller side projects ranging from experimental tools to cover art or posters.

Empowering citizens to prepare for heavy rainfall events

Situation

Heavy rainfall is one of the most frequent natural disasters in Germany, yet many citizens underestimate their personal risk. Public infrastructure takes years to adapt; individual action can happen right away. What exists today, PDFs, flyers, static maps, isn't personalized and doesn't get anyone to actually act.

Citizens often assume flood protection is solely the city’s responsibility.

Many misjudge their own risk or believe it won’t affect them.

Warnings often come too late. Action must be taken before the rain begins.

Task

Design an engaging and trustworthy civic platform that translates complex flood risk data into an intuitive, personalized experience. The platform needed to build awareness, present city actions transparently, and guide citizens toward protective measures motivating them to act before the rain starts.

Action

We followed a user-centered design process with three phases.

User research

Interviews with citizens and experts revealed awareness gaps, emotional barriers, and behavioral patterns related to risk perception.

Concept development

Multiple ideation rounds led to a validated platform concept focused on hyper-local risk insights and personal relevance.

Design

I designed user flows, UI elements, and interactions to balance clarity with empathy. Color hierarchy and microinteractions were used to gently guide users without overwhelming them. We prototyped and tested iteratively to ensure accessibility, comprehension, and emotional resonance.

Result

Pluvo combines education, localization and empathy to drive awareness and behavior change.

Through a guided, interactive experience, the platform informs citizens of risks, shows protective actions and motivates them with a positive, empowering tone.

Raising awareness in public

Frequently affected or particularly endangered locations in the city are marked to raise awareness and guide people to the digital platform.

Informing personally

Citizens are also informed through personal channels such as letters, especially those in high-risk homes. Staff can now forward people directly to the platform.

Landing page

The landing page introduces the basics of heavy rainfall, explains what the city is doing to protect its residents and emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility. Transparent content creation builds trust, while clear messaging encourages users to take action.

Guiding the user

To make the experience on the platform more personal and guided we implemented two personas. Mona and Tom are there to explain the interface, nudge the user to explore the map and give helpful tips and explanations to make the abstract topic more tangible.

Exploring the map

An interactive city map helps users understand local risks. Blue markers show municipal protection efforts, while flood markers indicate locations of past heavy rain events. Virtual walkthroughs visualize historical water levels to make flood risks more tangible.

Inspecting one’s home

By entering their address, users can explore how city measures affect their home and identify common vulnerabilities. Each potential risk comes with actionable recommendations, from basic structural safeguards to expert contacts for in-depth consultation.

Conclusion page

The final section highlights users’ progress, reinforces key learnings, and offers downloadable emergency resources. Those interested in further support can directly connect with local experts through the platform.

Pluvo earns trust through positive, personal communication and by being transparent about both the dangers and the measures against them.

Learning

My bachelor thesis taught me to trust both the design process and the knowledge I had built throughout my studies. Working independently required confidence in our abilities especially when making key design decisions without constant feedback.

Designing an interactive map and a 3D object was a fun and rewarding challenge. I learned how to use color purposefully, without overwhelming the interface, and how to create a platform that feels intuitive and easy to navigate.

My main responsibilities included the landing page, the conclusion page, and the core UI elements of the map. This experience strengthened my skills in structuring content, defining visual language, and designing for clarity and usability.
