Bio
Richard Bitz
I get to work with many designers in my line of work. Franziska is one of the best I’ve worked with. She brings a lot of creative ideas, but she’s also not married to them and open to feedback. She listens carefully, is eager to learn, and open to iterating on a design until it’s just right (without getting lost in details.) The Blinkist homepage revamp was a big success and she deserves a lot of credit for it. At the same time, she has the potential to be more than a designer. When the PM on the project left, she filled in and kept the project moving forward. I very much enjoyed working with Franziska and can only recommend her highly.
Francesca Canu
I had the pleasure to work with Franziska in the same team for a couple of projects and I must say that I rarely worked with a person with the same professionalism and work ethic. She is loyal, dedicated and puts a great care into her work. It was a great experience to work with her and I could definitely learn a lot from her. She has a beautiful personality and solid soft skills, that could make her a good leader if she wants to pursuit that in the future. She also has a lot of enthusiasm and always gives her best at work and in her professional accomplishments.
