Über Karin

1. Overview

I am a Senior UI/UX Designer and Project Lead based in Amsterdam, dedicated to transforming highly technical requirements into robust, error-proof, and intuitive user experiences. My added value lies in my 10+ years of international experience (e.g., Nissan, Audio-Technica, NTT) and my rare expertise in hardware-software interaction design, where I transform the complexity of physical product constraints and specialized engineering into reliable, intuitive user-centric design.

2. Product Consultation | UX/UI/Architecture for Complex Systems

I am a specialist in User Experience for professional B2B and technical software. My core value is the ability to simplify complex workflows and information structures typical in sectors like manufacturing or automotive.
My process involves deep analysis of niche technical documentation and users to design highly efficient, reliable, and logical user flows. This approach is crucial for minimizing the learning curve for busy professional users and virtually eliminating operational errors in mission-critical environments. I excel in hardware-software interaction design, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience where technology and physical systems meet.

3. Project Lead
As a seasoned Project Lead, I specialize in the crucial initial phase of complex projects. I am adept at quickly clarifying ambiguity when project goals, obstacles, or task definitions are uncertain.
I utilize my problem-solving and consultation skills to properly launch initiatives, define clear scope, and establish the strategic direction. I then guide cross-functional, often global, teams through the full product lifecycle. My focus is on driving alignment between engineering, design, and business stakeholders, ensuring that the project adheres to technical constraints and is positioned for successful, timely deployment.
