WORK HISTORY
EXEMPLARY PROJECTS
CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION
How might we identify our target group?
Background
We have identified that the company I was working for sets their goals for projects based on business KPIs. This was motivated by their inability to correctly identify and name their users and user problems.
When there is a lack of understanding of the people using a solution it puts a company at risk to develop past the users and to be unable to satisfy their actual needs. Therefore, we wanted to establish an understanding of the different user segments and identify the current user group.
Process
Scientific research of learner segments
User interviews in key markets
Synthesis of over 14h of video material, endless notes, and note taking sheets
Development of main segments
Identification of sub-segments
Visualization of segments in Figma
Quantifying outcomes through surveys and log-data
Outcome
4 main user segments with 4 sub-segments
Segment artifacts created in Figma
EMERGENCY DATA
How might we make the emergency data accessible in case of emergency?
Background
To be labeled as an electronic health record, the company I was working for needed to provide an emergency pass including various data points.
The goal of this research was to establish a secure way to share data with emergency personnel within the rescue chain.
Process
Creation of an experience map through desk research and interviews with emergency personnel
Validation of the emergency map

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
How might we improve the information architecture of a webapp?
Background
To fulfill a strict release plan, the company I was working for established in minimum amount of time an MVP that only contained the technical implementation of features. All designs, user flows, and information architecture have been developed with tech input, only. After meeting the deadline, we were able to introduce user experience into the product, starting with an improved architecture.

PATIENT EXPERIENCE
How does the experience of patients in the hospital look like?
Background
The product I was working for is positioning itself as a holistic approach for the patient journey, accompanying patients before, during, and after the hospital stay to facilitate processes and the communication with the healthcare provider.
To gain in-depth insights into the field the product is operating in, the goal was to understand the experience of individuals throughout the entire patient journey.
Process
Desk research to understand hospital journey and patient groups
Ethnographic study in the hospital visiting each stage of the patient journey, from admission to discharge
Workshop with hospital staff with a systemic approach
Outcome
Visualization of the patient journey map for the team
