Professional context:
​
I'm currently a senior Product Designer at Vinted, the second hand market place enabling items to live longer and reduce waste. I'm focusing on the seller's journey, from simplifying their inventory management, providing tools to boost sales or simply making the profile experience more delightful.
First and foremost I strive to create elegant and engaging solutions to improve the user experience through a deep and thorough understanding of the user and problem at hand. Having a foundation in graphic design, I've come to humbly realize that Digital Product Design is an endless and rewarding process with exciting growth opportunities around every corner, not to mention new methods, trends and buzzwords to navigate every month.
Get to know me:
​
I was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA and was fortunate enough to be introduced to Adobe and the world of design at the young age of 14. After studying Graphic Design at University and working in New York City for two years, I landed in Berlin in 2016 and have loved it ever since. I even just received my german citizenship, endlich!
Outside of design I spend my time traveling, doing anything crafty (ceramics, sewing, painting, you name it) and I'm always honing my green thumb - 53 plants in my apartment and counting. Another passion of mine is sustainability, a continuous process of personal growth that intertwines itself in many elements of my everyday life.​​
