Summary
With my broad education and many years of experience in concept, design, programming, project management, online marketing, and business, I can support online projects from a holistic point of view. I also understand the ways of thinking and needs of the specialists from the different fields and can bring them together.
I work according to the Design Thinking principle, which takes into account the emotional and practical needs of a project and all stakeholders and recipients involved. I work with both creative and scientifically empirical methods, including Lego® Serious Play®.
I use Lean UX and Design Thinking together with agile methods like SCRUM and Lean Startup principles to create minimum viable products (MVPs) and implement all further phases of product and service development.
If needed, I use AI design tools and development environments with AI integration for prototyping.
With my methods and experience, I am also able to lead UX teams and projects of different sizes.
