About me
I’m Gerit, a UX/UI Designer passionate about crafting digital products that make knowledge more accessible and processes simpler. For over a decade, I’ve worked across culture, education, and SaaS turning complex content into clear, intuitive, and visually compelling experiences.
My journey
I started my career in an agency environment, where I honed my craft in branding and design for diverse clients. Over time, I shifted to freelancing, and worked on building educational apps, cultural platforms, and inclusive digital experiences for museums and public institutions.
Now, I’m ready to bring my experience back into a team setting. I want to collaborate closely with other disciplines, contribute to products with a long-term vision, and grow within a consistent environment where design decisions create sustainable impact.
What drives me
I believe great design solves real problems. For me, it’s about creating digital experiences that work for everyone. Beautiful, functional, and meaningful.
What I do
UX & UI Design
Design Systems
I design digital products from the ground up, starting with simple wireframes and refining them into clear, thoughtful interfaces. I care about creating systems that are easy to maintain and grow over time. Accessibility and inclusion are part of my process from the start, not something added later. My goal is to turn ideas into useful, well-built experiences that feel right for the people who use them.
