ABOUT ME

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm Marcel, a passionate UX designer dedicated to crafting intuitive and impactful digital experiences.

My journey in UX design began with a fascination for blending creativity with functionality to solve real-world problems. Over time, I've honed my skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing, striving to create designs that look great and feel effortless to use.

When I'm not immersed in pixels and prototypes, you'll find me tending to my garden, sipping coffee at my favourite café, or enjoying outdoor adventures with the little ones.

Thanks for stopping by!
