The person behind the work

HI, I’M JAKOB.

(Slightly less condensed in person.)

A visual eye.
A curious mind.

I’m Jakob Finkenzeller, a UI/UX designer with a background in media design. My work brings together visual design, interaction and an interest in how things are built.

I completed my B.A. at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd in February 2026. Before and during my studies, I worked as an intern at Immagine in Munich, first in media design and later in web design. That gave me practical experience with content, layouts and WordPress websites.

An exchange semester at Savonia in Finland added another perspective through a mix of design and engineering courses. I’m now looking to bring that combination to a UI/UX team.

Tools I put to work

A quick look at the things I use to think, design and build.

  • Figma

    Interface layouts, components and interactive prototypes.

  • Miro

    Mapping ideas, research and collaborative thinking.

  • WordPress

    CMS content, layouts and Elementor. Also familiar with Joomla.

  • HTML & CSS

    Building and styling responsive interfaces.

  • JavaScript

    Interactive prototypes and browser experiments.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud

    Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign for visual design; After Effects and Premiere for motion and video.

My media-design background shapes how I work with typography, imagery and layout across these tools.

Away from the screen

Archery gets me outside and gives me something very different to focus on. It also found its way into my bachelor project, ArcherAI. Otherwise, you’ll find me hiking, listening to music or joining friends for a game.
