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 organizes information so people can find, understand and use it. It defines content structures, navigation paths, labels, taxonomies and relationships across websites, apps, intranets and digital services. The work connects user needs with business goals and technical constraints.
Where it is used
Companies bring Information Architecture into projects with complex content, multiple audiences or difficult search journeys. Typical deliverables include:
- Website and application sitemaps
- Navigation models and menu structures
- Content hierarchies and taxonomies
- Search and filtering concepts
- Intranet and service-portal structures
Methods and tooling
Strong specialists combine discovery research with structured modeling. They use card sorting, tree testing, content audits, stakeholder interviews and analytics to validate decisions. Depending on the project, they work with tools such as FigJam, Miro, Figma, Optimal Workshop, spreadsheets and documentation systems.
When companies need support
Freelance expertise helps when a redesign has outgrown its existing navigation, a merger creates scattered content or a product adds new domains and user groups. It is also useful when teams need an independent structure review before design and implementation begin. In Hamburg, remote collaboration can support distributed product teams, while on-site workshops may help align local stakeholders.
Skills that work together
Information Architecture often overlaps with UX research, content strategy, interaction design, search experience and accessibility. A capable professional can translate research findings into clear models, explain trade-offs to stakeholders and prepare specifications that designers, writers and technical teams can use. Knowledge of CMS structures, metadata, governance and migration planning is valuable for content-heavy systems.
What distinguishes strong professionals
Look for specialists who show the reasoning behind their structures rather than presenting navigation as a matter of taste. Useful evidence includes annotated sitemaps, taxonomy decisions, test results and examples of improved findability. Strong professionals define naming rules, document dependencies and verify their work with real users. They also communicate clearly in the language and working style required by the project.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Information Architecture, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Information Architecture is used to organize content, features and navigation so users can find what they need. It supports websites, mobile products, intranets, knowledge bases, ecommerce catalogs and service portals.
Information Architecture focuses on structure, hierarchy, labeling, navigation and findability. UX design covers the wider experience, including interaction patterns, visual decisions, research and usability; the two disciplines work closely together.
A strong Information Architecture specialist often brings UX research, content strategy, interaction design and accessibility knowledge. Experience with search behavior, metadata, CMS governance and content migrations is especially useful for large or changing systems.
The right level depends on scope and ambiguity, not on a fixed duration. Information Architecture work for a small site may center on a sitemap and navigation review, while a multi-domain platform can require research, taxonomy design, testing and migration planning.
Yes. Information Architecture workshops can run remotely with shared whiteboards, screen sharing and online card-sorting tools. On-site sessions in Hamburg can still be useful when many stakeholders need to resolve terminology or ownership questions together.
Ask how the specialist gathers evidence, tests labels and handles competing stakeholder needs. Good Information Architecture work includes clear models, documented decisions and validation with representative users, not only polished diagrams.
Involve an Information Architecture professional before navigation, content models or major screen flows are fixed. Early input reduces structural rework and helps teams align product scope, content ownership, search behavior and user journeys.
Information Architecture professionals commonly use Figma, FigJam, Miro, spreadsheets, documentation tools and research platforms such as Optimal Workshop. The tool matters less than whether the specialist can make structures understandable, testable and practical to maintain.
