Melika A.
Last position:
UX/UI Designer at Twoloox GmbH
- Sole UX designer on a full product redesign and the foundations of a design system for Widget Designer, a B2B professional desktop tool for real-time media control used in live events and installations, working with a product manager and two engineers.
- Grounded the redesign in user feedback, a product audit, and competitor analysis, which surfaced where the tool's depth had outgrown its usability, leaving expert operators to manage complexity in live moments where errors are immediate and irreversible.
- Restructured the workspace, navigation, and panels around the operator's real workflow, so they keep the full depth of control while gaining the clarity to act with confidence under live pressure.
- Extracted a design system from the redesign: semantic color roles, component states, spacing rules, and reusable dialog and form patterns, with foundational accessibility built into color contrast and state feedback, validated through prototypes against the legacy codebase and giving design and engineering a shared foundation to build from consistently and at speed.

About the technology
What Information Architecture covers
Information Architecture, often called IA, is the practice of organizing content, features and interactions so people can find and understand what they need. It turns complex information into clear structures for websites, apps, intranets, portals and digital services. The work connects user needs with business goals, content governance and technical constraints.
Core deliverables
Information Architecture specialists define the logic behind a digital product before teams invest in detailed interface design. Typical deliverables include:
- Content inventories, audits and structural models
- Navigation systems, menus and wayfinding patterns
- Taxonomies, metadata models and controlled vocabularies
- Sitemaps, user flows and wireframe-ready specifications
Methods and tooling
Strong IA work combines qualitative research, analytics and workshop facilitation. Professionals use card sorting, tree testing, search analysis and usability testing to validate structures with real users. They may work with tools such as Figma, Miro, FigJam, Optimal Workshop, content management systems and enterprise search platforms.
Where companies use it
Companies bring in Information Architecture expertise when content has become difficult to manage or users cannot complete key tasks. This is common during website redesigns, migrations, replatforming and service expansion. Hamburg companies in logistics, media, commerce, aviation and public services may need structures that serve both local teams and international audiences.
When freelance expertise helps
Freelance specialists add focused capacity when an internal team needs an independent view or a project has to move from discovery to implementation quickly. Useful signals include:
- Users struggle to locate products, documents or services
- Navigation differs across departments or channels
- A migration risks losing content relationships and search value
- Editors lack clear rules for naming and maintaining content
What distinguishes strong specialists
The best professionals explain structural decisions in plain language and connect research findings to practical deliverables. They understand UX design, content strategy, accessibility, SEO, search behavior and the limits of a chosen CMS. For Hamburg-based teams, the right collaboration model may combine remote workshops with on-site sessions, while clear English and German communication can support mixed stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Information Architecture, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Information Architecture is used to organize content, functions and navigation so users can find information and complete tasks. It supports websites, mobile products, intranets, knowledge bases, portals and large content migrations.
Information Architecture focuses on structure: hierarchy, labeling, navigation, relationships and findability. UX design covers the broader experience, including interaction patterns, visual interfaces, research and usability, so the disciplines often work closely together.
A strong Information Architecture specialist often works across content strategy, UX research, accessibility, SEO and enterprise search. Experience with CMS governance, taxonomy design, analytics and stakeholder workshops is also valuable for complex organizations.
The right level depends on the scope, content complexity and number of stakeholder groups. A focused navigation review may need a specialist with targeted project experience, while a global taxonomy or migration benefits from someone who has handled governance, research and implementation together.
Yes. Information Architecture work is well suited to remote audits, interviews, mapping sessions and collaborative reviews. Hamburg teams may still prefer on-site workshops for sensitive stakeholder alignment, and agreeing on English or German working language early helps mixed teams collaborate smoothly.
Bring in an Information Architecture freelancer when users cannot find important content, teams disagree about navigation or a redesign is approaching without a shared structure. Early involvement reduces rework and gives designers, writers and technical teams a common model.
Look for clear reasoning, documented assumptions and evidence from user research or behavioral data. Good Information Architecture work produces structures that users can navigate, editors can maintain and technical teams can implement without relying on personal preference.
Information Architecture specialists may use content inventories, card sorting, tree testing, search logs and usability sessions. They commonly map results in Figma, Miro or FigJam and document taxonomies, metadata and navigation rules for the relevant CMS or search system.
