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.
