A glimpse into my
Design Journey

Babbel, Designing for Language Learning
At Babbel, I lead a team of designers and researchers to create the core learning experience for our users. I shape the design vision and strategy to align with business goals, while fostering a culture of design experimentation and prototyping. As a hands-on design lead, I enjoy facilitating design sprints and being equally involved in the details.

Tinylogs is a project that's very close to my heart. During COVID, I teamed up with a friend to create an app that helps users practice gratitude every day. We tested it and shared it with our friends. I hope to revisit and develop this project further someday!
