designer crafting
user experiences
I’m Doreen, a creative mind who loves bringing ideas to life. With 6+ years of expertise in UX/UI, XR and learning experience design, I craft thoughtful experiences across various mediums. The intersection of technology, creativity and storytelling is where I thrive.

Throughout my career, I have worked with 3spin Learning, Fraunhofer Institute, DBI Interactive, and Deutsche Telekom. I hold a university degree in Leadership in the Creative Industries (M.A.) and Interactive Media Design (B.A.) from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Currently, I'm based in Darmstadt, Germany.

From early concept to rapid prototyping, I enjoy shaping ideas collaboratively by aligning user needs, business goals and technical feasibility within agile teams. My daily toolkit includes Figma, Adobe CC, Miro and Notion.

Outside the screen, life continues to teach its own design lessons that fuel my creativity and work:
🎹

Music taught me
rhythm & pacing

Timing, pauses and transitions shape how something flows. Experiences should feel right, not just work.

🧢

Crafting taught me
to simply begin

Creating and working with my hands reminds me that ideas grow through experimentation, not perfection.

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

Balance
over hustle

Mindfulness keeps me grounded and focused. It is part of my creative process, not a pause from it.

πŸŒ„

Perspective keeps
me curious

We all see the world differently. Staying open to new places and ideas reminds me that there is never just one right solution.

πŸ’›

Empathy is the foundation

The best ideas don’t start with ego. Good design starts with listening, observing and understanding people.
