I’m Tabea, a UX Designer from Zürich, Switzerland. My background is in industrial design and UX research which is why I consider myself as a designer of hardware eco systems– an unusual profile in UX design. Currently, I‘m working at Sonova AG, creating experiences for hearing instruments and smart headphones from brands such as Phonak or Sennheiser. It is exciting to create products with demanding target groups and to see the impact of the design in the faces of the users. I love working in close collaboration with the end-user to develop innovative concepts. Thinking out of the box and getting inspired by real customer problems and feedback is what feeds my creative passions. My projects are characterised by careful research of the customer profile as well as expert recommendations.
In my free time, I like to discover old swiss traditions, go hiking and collect spoons, clothing patterns and music from all over the world.
