About
I'm a Berlin-based UX Design Leader with over 20 years of crafting seamless digital experiences. Currently shaping the future of online interactions at HelloFresh, I’m a seasoned pro in blending creativity with strategy to deliver products that users love and remember.
My journey in the world of new & online media has been nothing short of an adventure, filled with exciting challenges, innovative ideas, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Whether it’s leading a team, setting a bold design vision, or diving into the details to perfect a pixel, I bring a positive, pioneering spirit to everything I do.
I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and insights, and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to push the boundaries of design.
If you’re a designer who’s eager to grow, solve complex problems, and have some fun doing it, I’d love to help you out.

Katarina is unlike anyone I’ve worked with. During one of the toughest job-hunting phases of my life, she became my anchor... humble, sharp, and fully hands-on. She broadened my perspective, and restored confidence in my craft. What I appreciated most was her depth. She goes into the nitty-gritty with you... no shortcuts, no surface-level advise. Every issue I brought to her, she unpacked until nothing was left unclear. With her, you feel like you have a cheat code: a wise but grounded friend who nudges you towards the right path without ever being forceful. She won’t know this until she reads it, but she taught me humility... the kind that comes from realising your way isn’t always the only way. Her perspective was often exactly what I needed but didn’t know to ask for. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Katarina has been an incredible mentor throughout my journey in product design and UX. From the very beginning, she’s been approachable, supportive, and always willing to make time for thoughtful conversations. Whether I’m stuck on a design challenge or just need a second opinion, she listens carefully and offers feedback that’s both practical and insightful. What stands out most is how personalized her guidance is—she doesn’t give one-size-fits-all advice but really tailors it to my goals and where I am in my growth. She’s also super generous with sharing useful tools and frameworks that have helped me level up my skills and think more strategically. It’s clear that Katarina genuinely cares about the people she mentors. Her encouragement and guidance have made a huge difference in my confidence and development as a designer. I feel really happy that we have our sessions together.
