What I’ve been working on
PROTOTYPING
In my studies we get many opportunities to develop our own products. Together with 2 other team mates I created YUMI – Your hormone tracker. We created a clickable prototype using Figma and are currently developing the app using Flutter.
SOCIAL SKILLS
SCHOOL
I’ve always loved engaging in social settings. I was voted for class representative four years in a row and was actually a leading board member of the prom comittee. I successfully helped organize a prom with over 4.000 attendees all while graduating and batteling the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNIVERSITY
I’ve been volunteering as an “International Buddy” which means I am the contact person for an incoming exchange student. I’ve also taken part in the program 1day@FH which offers students to take part in classes for a day and get an insight of university life. As I’m very enthusiastic about my studies I posed for several news articles and am also presented on the course’s website.
If you are interested you can read more about my engagement at university in my recommendation letter from the head of my course Mrs. Martina Gaisch, PhD.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
In my freetime I volunteer as a skiing instructor for my local skiing club. I teach children from the age of 5 to 10. This role has enhanced my pedagogical skills, requiring the ability to convey skiing concepts in a child-friendly manner while adapting to each child’s unique learning pace. Additionally, effective communication with both the children and their parents, patience in fostering a positive learning environment, and a strong emphasis on safety awareness are crucial aspects of my role.
Corporate Design
In the class ‘Media design’ we had to create a Corporate Identity for a business. Using my Adobe skills I created the logo and used it for several different product mockups.
UI/UX Design
Since I got my first drawing pad I started getting into illustrations. I experimented a lot with colours and different brushes and techniques but found my passion in the actual design. I enjoy creating art but I get really passionate about ‘making things beautiful’. Thanks to classes like ‘User Experience Design’, ‘Visual Design’ and ‘Media Design’ I learned a lot about this topic and would love to deepen my knowledge and gain experience in this field.
The project you can see here was in my first semester in cooperation with two other collegues. This mockup of our product website was fully created by myself though. We created the product called ‘fläsch’. Customers can send us glass bottles and we turn them into functioning lamps.
PHOTOGRAPHY
In my third semester we had a class that was called photography design. We learned a lot about correct lighting, playing with shapes and size and of course how to operate a camera correctly. I’ve also wanted to portrait some of my photos as it is something I enjoy doing and would love to improve in.
