About me
Hi, I am Melina! I am a UX designer and researcher currently located in Enschede, Netherlands. I always had an interest in the interplay between people and technology. My passion for human-computer interaction really sparked during one of my Bachelor courses in Business & IT when I was asked to perform ordinary computer tasks blindfolded using a screen reader. This opened my eyes to understand how differently people experience the world and how important it is to understand the users needs, abilities and context when designing technology. This is why I want to take part in creating products and applications that have a positive impact on people's lives and are intuitive to use.

01
Curiosity
I always loved to try out new things. It drives me to experience new places, food and hobbies, but it's also the reason why I am so interested in how we experience the world and technology we interact with.
Ambition
I like to put a lot of thought and effort into the things that I am working on and I have a good feeling for when I achieved good results. My ambition also helps me pushing through when hiking and trekking.
02
Empathy
I'm very sociable and open-minded. A good atmosphere is important to me to thrive in groups and in my workspace. I am playing volleyball since my teenage years and I really enjoy the social aspects of having a team.
03
Creativity
Being creative by crafting things myself or dancing makes me fulfilled and I enjoy sharing it with friends. But I also like coming up with creative solutions to problems with limited resources available.
