The Work Behind the Work
Graphic Design, UX/UI, and Digital Experiences Built with Clarity and Structure
My professional journey began with storytelling.
Through a journalism internship, I learned how words — much like images — can shift perspective without needing to explain everything. That experience shaped how I understand context, people, and meaning, and it continues to influence my work today.
Soon after, that curiosity took a visual form.
For six years, I worked on cruise ships as a photographer and photo manager, capturing portraits, studio sessions, and everyday moments of people in motion. Living and working at sea meant constant change — an environment that trained my eye for detail, timing, and observation.
Those years taught me patience, visual sensitivity, and how to notice what often goes unseen — qualities that still define my approach to design and visual work.
About Me
Life eventually carried me to Germany, where I studied, worked, and raised my daughter, navigating change the way many creatives do — by learning, adapting, and choosing new directions when needed.
My background in photography continues to inform my design work, shaping how I think about composition, clarity, and human presence in digital spaces.
One of the most formative chapters of my career was my internship at Roland Berger, followed by a role as Junior Art Director. Working in a fast-paced corporate environment sharpened my strategic thinking, collaboration skills, and sense of responsibility in design.
When that structure shifted, my path evolved into freelancing. Since then, I’ve worked across digital design, UX/UI, brand systems, websites, and creative direction — always balancing strategy and execution.
Beyond my professional work, I carry lived responsibility.
Being a mother and caring for others — human and animal alike — has shaped how I approach commitment, reliability, and care. These values are as present in my work as they are in my life.
Through backend-design, I focus on structure, systems, and clarity — building digital experiences and brand foundations that are reliable, accessible, and meaningful. My more artistic and experimental work lives under studio-ak.de, where visual exploration takes center stage.
