I'm a seasoned UX Designer and Human-Computer Interaction researcher (4+ years of experience) specializing in SaaS products and virtual experiences. I have a lot of experience in bringing a product from 0 to 1 as well as establishing UX practices that are aligned with business goals as a founding designer/design team of one. I currently serve as the Chief Design Officer of Hostari, where I design end-to-end experiences for our current suite of products in our product studio. I'm also finishing up my MSc Human-Computer Interaction degree at the University of Salzburg and Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, where I have successfully published a first-author paper at a Tier 1 academic conference (CHI) before graduating from the program.
