UX STRATEGIE & UX DESIGN

For more than 20 years I have been working as a UX expert in various roles for large corporates and innovative tech start-ups. 

Nicole Schaller, User Experience Designer

I studied communication design and thus laid the foundation for my conceptual and graphic understanding. I earned my first professional spurs in various advertising and multimedia agencies. The innovative possibilities in the digital environment and the emerging need for better usability at the end of the 1990s inspired me to conceptualise and design digital products. 

 

In my more than 20-year career, I have gained experience as a designer, team leader, mentor, independent UX expert with my own company and as part of an agile tech venture building team for innovative start-ups. This variety of experience has not only given me confidence, but also a broad, strategic view of digital product development - which I draw on in every project today. At the same time, I am always open to new ideas.

I am a doer and grow with every new challenge.

 

My motto: learning by doing.
