UX systems and digital user journey strategies for Allianz, Telefónica, Telecom, BMW or e-on : Not work. Collaboration with stakeholders and teams on b2b, b2c and b2e projects for Santander, Pro7Sat1 or Canal+: Not work. User-centric wireframes, flows, high- and low fidelity MVP prototypes across multiple devices for startups or world brands: Not work. Making the world more usable is not work, it’s a passion.
But what about the boring UX work? The construction work flows, shipping and agricultural logistics, or infrastructure and data dashboards? Many designers prefer to work on the things they use themselves, like design tools, communication and social media apps or entertainment services. Petra prefers and is specialised in the not-so-boring-at all UX projects where you can solve more complex problems for more complex audiences within more complex IT setups.

Petra is joining the WINTERMUTE research team in the government project on the development of new IT security technologies for user-oriented protection of communication networks, coordinated by genua, Munich.
