Hi, my name is Maija Schmitt. I'm a UX designer currently based in Germany.

I've recently transitioned from secondary-school teaching and teacher training to UX design.

Feel free to browse this site and if any questions arise, do not hesitate to contact me. Enjoy!

My Work

WOD Hunt

WODHunt is a responsive web app for CrossFitters and functional fitness athletes who want to use the principles of scavenger hunts and geocaching for their training regime. This case study presents the entire design process, via user research and usability testing up to a high-fidelity mockup of the mobile app using mainly Adobe XD.

VocabQuest

VocabQuest is about an app that is making vocabulary learning fun for school children. This project showcases my initial design process from problem statements to the first iteration of a low-fidelity clickable prototype using Marvel.

LOT1

LOT1 is a Berlin-based startup that wants to make art auctions more accessible for all. They aim to showcase young and upcoming Berlin artists' works via object recognition and AR software all integrated in one single app. This case study is about my collaboration with the founders, a 3-day design thinking workshop and the ongoing processes.

rmsUXdesign Portfolio Page

This case study shows the evolution of this portfolio page which I coded throughout my CareerFoundry specialisation course. If you are keen to find out more about my coding skills or why I chose to write my own page instead of using Squarespace, Wordpress or Adobe Portfolio, read on!
