Hi, I'm Laura.
born in 1996, currently based in Bremen
Today, I am a UX designer – but I started on the other side of the design process. As a chronically online teenager, I coded my first Tumblr templates at the age of 13 and began studying Computer Science after graduating from secondary school. However, the awful-looking UI and miserable usability of the applications coded by me and my fellow students quickly sparked my interest in user experience design. After four semesters in CS, I finally switched to Media & Interaction Design.
I gained most of my professional experience in brand agencies, where interdisciplinary teams and scarce resources are part of everyday life. Design systems and Styleguides were the key to bringing brands to life digitally. Today, my focus is more on long-term product development – and on translating complex processes into intuitive experiences.
When I'm not immersed in Figma, I fuss over my 60+ houseplants, make tea or browse flea markets for old DVDs.
TL;DR
Completed half of a degree in computer science + B.A. in Interaction Design. Worked for 3 years in brand agencies as a UI/UX designer. Why UX? Creative problem solving, creating clear solutions from complexity & real added value for users.
