Aloha, meet Manuela! Swiss roots, based in Hawaiʻi.
Product Designer by choice, fueled by curiosity & creativity.

What excites me about design is untangling complex workflows, connecting the dots, and getting the little details just right. Over the years, I've tackled challenges across different industries, collaborating with teams at Harvard, Bosch, AstraZeneca, Emirates, FedEx, and P&G.

Beyond the pixels, life is a mix of family adventures, mountain trails, ocean days, kitchen experiments, and a never-ending reading list. These days, I'm also chasing after my little daughter, who's teaching me a whole new meaning of user testing.
