Description

Hi! I'm a Swiss/British designer who loves to travel and discover new cultures! I work as an Interaction Design Consultant at IBM in Waterloo, England. Through my job and my time studying UX and industrial design, I'd love to help out design tasks such as websites, graphic design, apps etc! I have a strong passion for creative projects and sustainable living, learning languages and discovering new cultures.

Being from Switzerland, I love being in nature and water/ snow sports. I'm an extremely adventurous and versatile person who enjoys constantly trying new things and learning from the people I meet on my travels.

More details about your skills

For my creative side, I'm passionate about art and am skilled in many practices such as sketching, painting, photography and videography. I have completed multiple wall murals for clients. I have experience in digital and industrial design projects involving screen designs, CAD, high fidelity prototyping and softwares such as Figma and Adobe Suite.

I have done a Workaway in Portugal where I helped out on the farm planting trees, building storage units and helping with the general maintenance, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I have job experience as a waitress and a cleaner and work in horse stables, therefore I am not afraid of hard manual work and long hours. I have a First Aid certificate from Samaritains Vaud (CH) as well as a training certificate for child minding and babysitting from the Swiss Red Cross. I'm also involved in volunteering programs at home and at university which has given me the opportunity to participate in many projects involving supporting local primary schools, animal rehabilitation centres and retirement homes. These projects thoroughly developed my team working skills.

I'm a fast learner and adapt quickly to new environments, therefore I'm looking forward to taking on any challenge or project that is thrown my way!
