UX Designer & Researcher

SebastianBreuer

I found my way into UX through Computer Science, not because I wanted to push pixels, but because I wanted to solve how humans interact with complex logic. My background in User Research and HCI taught me that a solution is only as good as its usability and technical scalability.

Right now, I'm moving back toward my engineering roots. I'm fascinated by the shift from static interfaces to AI-driven, conversational experiences. For me, AI isn't a buzzword, it's a tool to build more intentional products. I want to spend less time pushing rectangles and more time shipping smart, functional systems that actually work in the real world.
