Hi, I'm Sabine
Freelance UX Designer in Berlin – thoughtful, pragmatic, and always curious
🖥️ Curiosity Meets a Keyboard
As a kid, I was always observing—asking why, trying to understand how things worked. That mindset found a new outlet when we got our first PC. I was so captivated that I read my dad’s entire Windows 3.1 manual, cover to cover. Funny, considering how little love I have for Windows these days.

🌴 Outside the Design Box
I recharge by staying active and creating with my hands:
- Doing Pilates because good posture pairs well with good process
- Caring for my Kleingarten, a small oasis that grounds me in the seasons
- Actively engaged in the foodsharing community, helping to reduce waste
