Experience

UX Designer - Master’s Thesis (LAB UAS) | Hobbly Technologies Ltd | 12/2025 - 06/2026

Designed a gamified card-deck-style element for Hobbly’s mobile application selection process, from the initial concept through prototyping and stakeholder presentations. Planned and conducted usability testing, then analyzed the results to refine the design. The findings showed that the element made the selection process easier, faster, and more enjoyable, while also supporting focus and reducing cognitive load.

Company collaboration

UI/UX Designer | Psyche's Royale Gaming ry - Alt Zone Game Project | 11/2024 - 04/2025

Independently created the original design system and on-screen usage guide, which other designers then built on, adjusted, and added to as the team scaled up, keeping several designers' work consistent throughout. Led the design team by coaching through questions rather than handing out answers, and kept the site's direction consistent so the project could keep moving toward a finished version.
