For Hoststar, I have broadened my design and CSS skills, by creating templates for their web design tool. Through the production of small motion graphics and tutorial videos, I have learned to work better and more efficiently with After Effects.

From late 2015 to late 2016 I’ve been travelling through Southeast Asia and Oceania. During my travels I have met a lot of people, and have further improved my communication skills.

As a web designer at a software company I was involved in almost all projects. I created whole CDs for some software projects, or icons and graphics for others. I also implemented webdesigns in HTML, XML, CSS, SASS and PHP and app designs with Android Developer Tools and XCode. I have a good grasp on agile software development and issue management. I have worked with Scrum and IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ. What I have learned most, is teamwork, working well with clients, and time management.

For a short time, I did freelance work on smaller projects and two a bit bigger websites. I created a Drupal website for CareforClimate and a website for Gruppe Wolf Schweiz and consulted those clients in visual design and content management. Through this work I got a first grasp on what it was like to work with clients and was able to improve my web design skills.

I worked as a project assistant for the project "Cats in China" supporting the project as a project co-manager and administrator. I did research and was in constant communication with cat specialists from all around the world to collect cat species data for publication in the magazine Cat News. I also prepared, co-organized and co-hosted a presentation and workshop at the Society of Conservation Biology Conference in Beijing and created a website for this.
