Case Study // 2025
How I elevated an entire product ecosystem while keeping existing user habits intact
As Senior UX/UI Designer at Studydrive, I took a critical look at all key digital touchpoints to spot what could be improved. I modernised and visually refined the entire experience while fixing pain points and bringing more clarity, structure, and consistency.
Project 1 : HMI design for the ID.Unyx to be released in China
For the release of the ID.Unyx in the Chinese market, Volkswagen required a custom HMI, tailored specifically to local cultural expectations and user behaviours.
My role and my responsibilities
Due to the complexity and scale of the project, i was part of a design team. Each designer was assigned a certain set of screens that they were mainly working on. But since my responsibilities also involved the main design grid and general layout, i was eventually involved in pretty much every screen.
Addiotionally I improved, updated and maintained the design system in Sketch, wrote design documentation

NDA Disclaimer
Due to the NDA i’ve signed i cannot show detailed processes and screenshots, but only the official promo images owned by the Volkswagen Group.
Project 2 : HMI design for the global Volkswagen series production
After the VW.Unyx project i immediately switched over to the HMI design team in Wolfsburg to work on the ID.Software 6.0 - the HMI for the Volkswagen series production.
My role and my responsibilities
Like in the first project, i was part of a bigger design team. This time i was trusted with the high profile screens. Homepage, Navigation, Media Player and App Drawer.
Also here I improved, updated and maintained the design system in Figma, wrote design documentation and mentored the junior designers.
