Hi! I'm Alina, a Design Researcher & Experience Designer

I’m passionate about products and services for social & environmental impact, and I’m curious about the influence of design on the human mind.

Present

After my graduation and my experience at frog design, I'm now freelancing for FROLIC studio. I'm striving to following a strong human-centered research approach, developing a holistic-contextual strategy and delightful designs for products at the intersection of the virtual and physcial world.

Past

In my bachelor's at the University of Applied Sciences Munich, I developed a broad range of skills from visual design, motion design, interaction design, web design, and product design. During my internship at Blackspace Design Studio, I gained experience in spatial and exhibition design. At frog Design, I deepened my knowledge in Experience Design, Service Design, and Design Research in a six-month internship and the development of my bachelor thesis project.

I had the chance to work on a variety of exciting projects from sustainable strategy, virtual exhibitions to inclusive products ...
