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 Maze does
Maze is a remote user research platform for testing digital products before and after launch. Teams use it to collect feedback on prototypes, websites and applications, then turn participant behaviour and responses into clear research findings. It supports unmoderated studies that can be shared with participants without requiring a live session.
Research formats
Maze brings several discovery and validation methods into one workspace. Product teams can combine prototype testing with surveys, open questions, card sorting and tree testing to examine both usability and information architecture.
- Validate Figma and other interactive prototypes
- Measure task completion and participant paths
- Explore navigation with card sorting and tree testing
- Collect qualitative feedback beside structured responses
Ecosystem and workflow
Maze connects closely with design and product workflows, especially Figma-based prototyping. Strong specialists understand how to prepare realistic flows, recruit or import suitable participants, configure study logic, and interpret results without confusing preference with usable evidence. They also work with research repositories, product analytics and collaboration tools when findings need wider distribution.
When companies need support
Companies often bring in freelance Maze expertise when research capacity is limited or a critical product decision needs evidence quickly. Specialists can establish a repeatable research process, audit existing studies, or support distributed teams working across Germany and international markets.
- Turn product questions into focused research plans
- Set up and launch studies for prototypes or live experiences
- Analyse completion patterns, responses and friction points
- Present findings that inform design and prioritisation
What strong specialists deliver
A capable professional does more than configure a test. They define useful tasks, remove leading language, select participants that fit the research question and protect the quality of the evidence. They can also distinguish a design flaw from a recruitment issue and explain limitations clearly to product, design and leadership teams.
Choosing the right fit
Look for someone who can show how research changed a product decision, not only how they used the interface. Relevant experience may include UX research, interaction design, Figma, survey design, information architecture, accessibility and product analytics. For teams in Germany, agree early on remote collaboration, workshop availability and whether research materials should be prepared in German, English or both.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Maze? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Maze is used to run remote, unmoderated research on prototypes, websites and digital products. Companies use it to test usability, gather survey responses, study navigation and validate design decisions with participant evidence.
Maze supports self-guided studies, so participants complete tasks without a researcher leading the session in real time. Moderated research can reveal deeper motivations through conversation, while Maze is useful for gathering structured behavioural and response data at scale.
A strong Maze specialist usually combines UX research with prototype design, Figma, survey writing and information architecture. Experience with product analytics, accessibility and research repositories is also valuable when findings must connect to broader product decisions.
The right level depends on the research question, participant audience and product risk. A focused prototype study may need a specialist who can plan and configure the work, while a company building a recurring research practice benefits from deeper expertise in study design, analysis and stakeholder communication.
Yes. Maze is designed for remote participation, which suits distributed teams and participants in different regions. A freelancer in Germany can collaborate online with international stakeholders, while agreeing on workshop times, language and participant recruitment responsibilities in advance.
Maze is commonly used with Figma prototypes to test flows before implementation. A specialist should know how to prepare realistic prototype paths, define tasks that match the research goal and account for prototype limitations when interpreting results.
Assess whether the specialist links each study to a clear product decision and uses unbiased tasks and questions. High-quality Maze work explains participant selection, separates observed behaviour from opinion and states what the evidence cannot prove.
Maze does not replace every research method. It is effective for structured validation and remote task testing, while interviews and moderated sessions remain better suited to exploring motivations, complex workflows and unexpected context in depth.
