Hi there – I am Mari, a Berlin based Interaction Designer. Take a look into my work or just get in touch.
Currently I am working at Stapelstein® as a Digital Product Designer.
My tasks include the overall design and conception of the website and the app as well as most other digital areas.
I see my abilities above all in the conception and the representation of ideas both digital, as well as analog.
I also like to experiment with electronic components and create first, fast prototypes 🔧.
Besides working as an Product Designer I like to play the cello, go hiking or ride my bike around Berlin.
This helps me to get a break from my work and come up with fresh, new ideas.
