Working on SMARTBROKER+
For over a year, I worked as a working student in UI/UX at Smartbroker AG. Their core product, SMARTBROKER+, is one of the largest neobrokers on the german market. Together with my team, I contributed to the development of various features for SMARTBROKER+ and WallstreetOnline.

Why?
Studying alongside my studies
As much as I enjoy my time at university, it largely stays within its own academic bubble. From the very beginning, it was important to me to work alongside my studies to gain valuable experience, develop skills, understand the daily life of a Product Designer, and be part of real product development.

How?
With hands-On Design Experience
I was part of a great design team that not only covered all design requirements for the product but also developed strategic concepts for the company's software solutions. As a working student, I was assigned to new topics and areas almost every week. Most of my time was spent designing features in Figma and bringing them to life in collaboration with other teams.
