Über mich

I am a User Experience Researcher with a strong background in qualitative, innovation, and market research and experience in triangulating data for evidence-based impact. I am an analytical thinker and problem solver and am happiest in leading projects from strategic explorative research to testing solutions. I am a cultural hybrid and a cross-cultural communicator proficient in conducting research in six countries and in five languages and want to bring an informed cultural view to designing new solutions. Experience in healthcare, e-commerce (grocery, retail), software, and hardware design research.
