About me
Design Recruiter turned UXR turned Founder.
After years of building top Product Design and UX Research teams at Miro and N26, I left to start kuːl — my boutique agency rethinking how the best design talent is hired and supported in their job search globally.
Whether you're building a high-performing design team or navigating a career transition, I’m here to help.
I’ve hired the best design talent — and then had the rare opportunity to join the very team I helped build.
Working as a team member within the design department gave me a whole new layer of empathy for candidates, and a deeper understanding of what hiring managers and founders truly need.
It’s shaped how I work — more grounded, more human, and with clear understanding of both sides of the table.
