I was invited to speak at the Design talks Business Summit during the Gdynia Design Days in July this year. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic I was not able to travel to Poland and the event had to be shifted to a pure online-event. The organizers, however, did a fantastic job of putting a very … Continue reading Designing human-machine interaction for autonomous systems
The only constant is change
It has been quiet on this blog for a while and the reason is simple. I decided to switch from being a freelancer to being employed starting September 2018. I now work as User Experience Consultant at Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich. Some people I told about this change reacted with surprise – why would … Continue reading The only constant is change
06-07/2018 | Month in review | Dutch, anyone?
June was a short month due to my vacation and it already feels so long ago. I cannot believe that it is only 6 weeks ago that I woke up to this view every morning: Fully recharged and with lots of energy, I dove straight into project work as I got back and a lot … Continue reading 06-07/2018 | Month in review | Dutch, anyone?
05/2018 | Month in review | Travel, talks, and vitamin sea
I am publishing this monthly review a little late. Vacation first. I just returned from Slovenia and Croatia and feel fully recharged to start with new ideas and projects again. Before, just a quick review of May and it was a very busy month. My trip to Berlin and re:publica18 already seems so long ago, … Continue reading 05/2018 | Month in review | Travel, talks, and vitamin sea
Improving your city – #MucGov18 barcamp
In 2009 / 2010 I participated in a number of barcamps and the first barcamp that I have been to for a long time was the #MucGov18. I prefer the barcamp format with open and spontaneous sessions over a standard conference format since there are always more discussions and in particular, since people are ready … Continue reading Improving your city – #MucGov18 barcamp
Things I loved about re:publica18
It has been quite some time since I have been to re:publica for the last time (to be precise, it was in 2010, when the event was much smaller), even though I always followed the content of the sessions online. This year, I was thrilled to make the trip to Berlin again. Things didn't go … Continue reading Things I loved about re:publica18
04/2018 | Month in review | Smooth sailing
Let's be honest, I find it difficult to write a monthly review, since the month of April was quite uneventful. In a positive way. Projects flowed smoothly, I spent a lot of time reading (Thomas Friedman and Ray Kurzweil have been high up on my reading list for quite some time), I found time for … Continue reading 04/2018 | Month in review | Smooth sailing
03/2018 | Month in review | “Analog inspiration”
The main focus of this month for me was inspiration and I gathered a lot of it – through conversations with different experts in the digital field and through events – so mainly in good old analog formats. March began with the Munich Creative Business Week (MCBW), which was without a doubt the highlight of … Continue reading 03/2018 | Month in review | “Analog inspiration”
02/2018 | Month in review | “gaudeamus igitur”
Time flies when you are having fun, therefore, I like to take a moment at the end of each month to reflect on what I have accomplished, what topics I was concerned with, and what I learned. February is a short month, but a lot of great things happened: I was finishing up a project … Continue reading 02/2018 | Month in review | “gaudeamus igitur”
Running a Design Sprint
As a User Experience Designer, I have used Design Thinking methods on a daily basis for many years - user interviews, observations, user journeys, scribbling, ideation sessions, prototypes, and user testing. Most projects lasted for a longer period of time, and only during pitches we were forced to go at a very fast pace. I … Continue reading Running a Design Sprint
