Jo.

Hi there,

I am a South African girl currently based in the beautiful Austrian city of Vienna. I like to live by the motto of be kind, be curious, collect experiences and not objects. This is why you will always find me exploring wonderful new places, or between happy faces at a music festival.

Crafting helpful experiences and solving real-world problems is something I am truly passionate about. I love sharing what I know with others as well as keeping the world a great place to be, one experience at a time.

My design process is;

Discover

Gaining a deeper understanding of people's needs, by empathizing and putting myself in their situations to really see what my fellow humans experience.

Define

Discover the correct problems so I now can pinpoint exactly what needs solving. This is where I can make the most impact and transform a person’s journey.

Develop

What I find during my discovery phase guides my ideation and design direction. It provides a holistic view of how interactions are made across the whole product or service. From this I can develop solutions based on my findings, test my solutions and iterate to improve them.

What’s in my toolbox?

Figma - Adobe CS - Sketch - Miro - Slack - Notion - Jira - Github - Google Workspace
