Human-AI interaction design that keeps people in control.
I'm a Senior UX Designer experienced in HR-tech, enterprise SaaS and pharma. Now I focus on designing Human-AI interaction based on AI design guidelines, with applied knowledge of the EU AI Act's high-risk obligations. My recent MAS thesis was on Microsoft's Guidelines for Human-AI Interaction (HAX). Open to senior designer roles on teams designing AI products, in-house or for clients.
Currently hosting an AI Design learning group and organising Vibecoding Hackathons for women (both in Vienna).
Selected Work
Matching talents to jobs: designing high-risk AI before the rules were finished
Recruiters are busy. When hiring for a new position they often skip checking their pool, so they miss talents who would have been a great fit. Matching pool talents to crawled job ads surfaces them, and recruiters only review the matches. It also makes this a high-risk AI use case under the EU AI Act.
How AI design guidelines influence the user experience, usability and trust
What measurably changes when you apply Microsoft's HAX guidelines to conversational interfaces? Effects on usability, trust and perceived UX.
Talent Explorer: built around search, still in daily use a decade later
I designed the information architecture and UX of myVeeta's recruiter interface in 2014, centred on search so recruiters can find the right talent in large pools. It launched in 2015 and is still in daily use. A decade on, I audited its design debt and designed an accessible component library.
