I'm a UX Designer passionate about creating arts.
Ever since my childhood, I have been interested in the visual arts, computer graphics and animations.
I’ve transformed these passions into my profession. I create a better user’s experience, by enabling users to go through the most exiting and easy journey.
Hi, I'm Erika — a UX/UI designer with 6+ years designing web, mobile, and cross-platform products across B2B and consumer markets.
I currently lead design at Leica Geosystems (Hexagon), where I built out the company's design system and styleguide from the ground up.
Outside of client work, I partner closely with engineering and product teams to take ideas from research through launch — and I'm always looking for the next hard problem to design my way through. Based in Zurich, Switzerland.
I create user experience, user interface design and branding.
