What I'm looking for

I’m looking to shape trustworthy, human-centered AI products through user research, product discovery, accessible design, and cross-functional collaboration. I’m especially motivated by privacy, transparency, user control, digital wellbeing, and technologies that support older adults.

At Universität Siegen, I coordinated CrossComITS, a BMBF-funded digital security and inclusion project, while conducting interviews, workshops, and usability tests with older adults and migrants. I translated findings into user stories, accessibility requirements, workflows, and platform improvements.

I’ve also contributed UX research and co-design to eVITA, an EU–Japan virtual coaching project supporting healthy aging through voice interfaces, smart technology, and biofeedback. My work has focused on trust, digital literacy, transparency, multilingual experiences, user control, and responsible AI.

I bring experience across product discovery, requirements, prototyping, usability evaluation, data analysis, and cross-functional coordination, supported by doctoral research in Human–Computer Interaction at the University of Siegen.
