About me

Hi, I’m Janica, a UI/UX designer based in Berlin. With a background in art direction and visual design, I bring a unique perspective to crafting functional and intuitive digital products. My work combines creative problem-solving with a deep understanding of user needs to design seamless and visually compelling experiences.
My journey into UI/UX design began after 12 years as a visual designer and art director specializing in visual identities and leading creative projects. Over the past six years, I’ve focused on digital design, fulfilling a long-time dream of specializing in UI/UX. This transition has allowed me to apply my design expertise and strategic thinking to the exciting challenges of interface design.
I’m driven by the challenge of understanding user needs and behaviors and translating those insights into accessible, visually compelling solutions. What excites me most is collaborating with teams to design products that make life easier and more enjoyable for users.
​
In my free time, you can find me either crafting my felt creations or strolling along the canal with friends and exploring art galleries.​
