Hello about meFemke Schmidt Picture

I’m a UX Designer experienced in designing user focused and well researched solutions to provide valuable products and positively impact the lives of my users.
I have basic knowledge in programming with java and html, which allows me to communicate seamlessly with developers. My passion to always learn and improve myself enables me to keep up with current industry standards.

I worked in a medical laboratoy before deciding that my passion lies in the world of IT. I come from a place where following rules and systems was mandatory for great results – all that while keeping the most important person in mind: the patient. This focus hasn’t changed in my work as a UX designer and I want to keep creating valuable products for my Users and impact their lives positively. These past experiences allow me to provide a unique perspective on the bigger picture.
