Hi, I’m

Silke

I shape ambitious digital products from early ambiguity to clear direction — working across AI, strategy, research, data, visual craft and code. I wake up every day wanting to create something. I am a proud nerd, insatiably curious and happiest when I’m learning.

I turn ambiguity into clear digital products — blending AI, strategy, research, data, visual craft and code. Proud nerd. Insatiably curious. Happiest when learning.

The product is the brand

I co-created XING’s design system from its new design language — turning visual principles into reusable components, documented patterns and shared product standards.
