ME

My name is Ellen and I am a User Experience Designer. My passion is to design products and services that not only make life a little easier for the user, but also a little bit more beautiful.

My practical experience lies in the whole process of UX design. From gathering requirements through user research, interaction, and interface design. Thereby the needs and experience of the user are fundamental to me at all times.

My focus lies in the concept phase of creating user experiences.
I enjoy using user research to create and evaluate compelling and detailed concepts so that they are ready for UI design and implementation.

My strength is to think in all directions and thereby both anticipate problems before they arise and discover many new ideas on the way. Good documentation and organization are always a must for me.

I like to work as closely as possible with development teams in an agile environment. The challenges and opportunities that arise when a product is implemented into practice are very exciting to me.
