About
Hi, I'm Katja.
A UX specialist with 10 years in digital product development, working where design, product and leadership meet. I bring a hybrid skillset that bridges UX craft with product-owner thinking and lead-level responsibility, prioritising what matters most, aligning business, development and users, and translating complex needs into clear direction a team can act on.
I've facilitated cross-functional teams, mentored designers, defined ways of working across multiple teams, and shaped UX strategy alongside business goals. A lot of my work has been about making UX visible in places it hadn't lived before, at Novo Nordisk I was the team's very first UX designer, and the success of that work led them to hire a permanent one.
Across ten years, with Novo Nordisk, A.P. Moller Maersk, Tradeshift and others, the same instinct has connected everything I've done: get close to real users, build strong processes, and turn complex problems into something a team can move on together.
