Manuela Schlager

Imagine you are standing in front of a door.

Instinctively, you want to pull the vertical handle. But the door remains locked.

You try to push and suddenly it opens.

Frustrating, isn't it?

Such doors are called "Norman Doors"; they signal the wrong thing.

A simple sign with "Push" is enough and the problem is solved.

This is exactly how design should provide orientation:

clear signals so you know immediately what to do.

Coming from classic graphic design, my adventurous spirit has led me from Cape Town via Córdoba to the Alps. Today, I combine these diverse experiences with my focus on UX/UI design and create sustainable, efficient brand and digital presences.

Design is like a signpost: it is visible, unambiguous, and immediately understandable to everyone, helping users to find their way intuitively. The result for companies is satisfied customers, efficient processes, and a strong, distinctive brand.

I am Manuela Schlager.
