As part of my studies, I looked closely at personas. My starting point was the question of why personas get created in many projects but don't always make it into everyday use. In theory, they're a central tool for making users tangible and supporting decisions. In practice, it often looks different.

Recap of the UX Winter School 2026

The Winter School that KMH GmbH made possible for me is now over, and all four workshops were super exciting and very hands-on. I learned something new in every single one and met a lot of new, inspiring people. Susan Rittel, who I attended UX Summer School 2025 with, was even there too!

Why I decided to volunteer with the German UPA

I'd wanted to do something volunteer-related for a while. Something I genuinely stand behind. Through the German UPA Summer School, exactly that opportunity came up.

What nobody told me before I became a UX designer

I didn't come into UX design the classic way. From game development through full-stack development to UI/UX designer, quite a few things turned out differently than planned. Eventually I understood that UI design isn't just about the aesthetic styling of modern interfaces.
