About me

Hi, I'm Micha! A UI and UX designer. I build products that users love. I have worked for agencies, on freelance projects and have been a product designer for over 10 years.
I shape ideas into products and help startups and enterprises invent, build and launch their next project. ๐Ÿ†

This is what I do:


UI Design

My UI makes the design functional. My style is not too corporate but warm, friendly and welcoming.


UX Design

From my experience, I have learned to listen to users. Asking the right questions at the right time is the essence.


Illustrations

I'm able to take over different illustration types and quickly adapt styles. Flat design, 3D, line art or abstract.


Prototyping & User Tests

With my background in Animation I have a keen eye on micro interactions. Every design needs to be tested with real people.


Mobile App Design

For iOS & Android the compact screens are a great opportunity to make your product habit-forming.


Animation

2D or 3D I'll move it. I work on Interface animations as well as character animations and video editing.

#1 Work - KeyWe

KeyWe is a software-based hardware IoT company. KeyWe first started off with a Kick Starter campaign. KeyWe reached over 1800% of the goal on this campaign and since then has expanded to over 9 countries with 14 dealers just in the overseas market. The evolution of high-speed internet has moved the industry of space management to utilize automation and IoT. Now the industry has limitless possibilities with this technology. Today, KeyWe is creating innovative and creative solutions to this industry at an extremely fast pace, just like the internet. keywesmart.com

KeyWe

IoT for the people

The challenge of modernizing the existing app was to create an easier-to-use app that feels like no higher level of technical knowledge is necessary. We simplified the language used on the app and cut down the steps to register the hardware. We also wanted the app to be a family product, where entry permissions can easily be shared within the family through the app and manual usage.

Remote User Test

The Process

Challenged by the Covid-19 restrictions we had to rethink our in-house testing strategies. Because it was essential to get a grip on user behavior on software as well as hardware, we decided to try a mix of reaching out to existing customers who already have purchased and reaching out to new users through Usertesting.com We found a way to visualize the process through video calls to learn and improve.

Roundee is a video conferencing platform designed to be easily adaptable to any working environment, helping users maximize online meetings with powerful features on top of video conferencing, such as recording and meeting room branding. It is built to be versatile and seamlessly integrated, enabling users to video record online meetings and delegate tasks on the spot. With Roundee, users never have to go through post-meeting minute writing and reviews that are time-intensive and boring. During the online meeting, users can co-edit minutes so everybody is on the same page. Roundee even allows the host to immediately share video files and other important content once the meeting is concluded. Integration with Slack makes it easy for users to upload minutes and details of the meeting and then make it accessible to other users.
