About me
Personal information
Moin.
I am Maru, 23 and from a tiny town in the very north of Germany, where there is mostly sheep. I love creativity. So I write novels, I paint and have a passion for interior design and fashion. I love new experiences. So I travel a lot and enjoy meeting new people whenever I can. I have lived in Spain and Berlin and would like to add a few countries to that list in the future. I am a person that listens and solves problems (my mum is a therapist) and I love investing time in things I care about. Mostly queer projects or supporting friends, family with my Design skills.
I started working as a product designer next to uni in my first semester and am exited about this journey ever since.
UX Journey
2024 - current
UX Designer
working student
In my current role I am working on user centered ID wallet/authentication applications for Verimi. Here I have learned to work in cross functional teams, communicate effectively and proactively improving working processes. I have become an expert in testing and accessibility and build confidence in facilitation, design skills and principles and what it means to work in a software company out of uni.
I collaborate with Product and Development teams everyday and learned to advocate for my team and users in business reality.
