Product Designer

Designing experiences people enjoy using

UX + the visual layer

Maike Pawlik

Hi, I'm Maike!

Based in Germany, I'm a Product Designer on a mission to make complex things feel simple, and simple things feel beautiful. My path started in Communication Design, where I fell in love with storytelling and visual craft, and it naturally evolved into product and UX design, where I now bring it all together.

Empathy first

Before I reach for solutions, I try to understand people: users and colleagues alike

Patience as a superpower

A good sailor doesn't learn in calm seas. I've learned the most from the roughest ones.

Structured by nature

I love organizing and cleaning up (at work and at home). Weird right?
