My journey.

Hi, I'm Sarah Sommerschuh! A german UI/UX Designer.

Originally, I wanted to study business administration. That is why I firstly completed a two year vocational training as an industrial clerk.

But as luck would have it, already in the introductory week of that apprenticeship did I get in contact with the for me unknown UX Design field. I was fascinated right away and even though I succesfully finished my apprenticeship I knew this would not be what I want to do.

Instead, I moved back to my home town Ingolstadt to study the Bachelor programme User Experience Design, which was one of the best decisions in my life. The fascination for my study field and its core value of always having the user in focus only increased. After successfully finishing my Bachelor's with top grades, I decided to continue my academic journey with the double-degree Master M.Sc. Human Computer Interaction and Design offered by EIT Digital Master School. Therefore, I am currently in my entry year at University of Twente in The Netherlands and will continue my exit year at Aalto University in Finland.

Through my studies I realised that my vision is to create new and powerful experiences that make users fall in love with the product.
