Native Instruments
Currently, I am a user interface designer (UI) at Native Instruments, in music production division on two complex desktop software's.
The user base is varied, from being professional composers to
enthusiastic bedroom producers and beat makers. The software is
considered to be complex in nature and the long-term goal is to try to enhance the ease of use. At Native, we have a strong mission to simplify the user experience.
The budget MIDI-keyboard is a good example of that. Of late, we
have re-skinned the software by simplifying and giving the software a streamlined and contemporary feel, while
simultaneously amending inconsistencies and implementing an
asset library with a maintainable design system.
Daily tasks also include:
Providing assets to developers and Writing implementation details
Prepare and conduct user interviews
Surveys and workshops
Conduct user research
Create user flows, mocups and wire-frames

ROLE: UI/UX + RERSEARCH + USER INTERVIEWS
Challenge: The flagship version of this
controller makes use of two 8 cm colour
screens hi-res, whereas this budget one has
a 1cm, low pixel density screen. The biggest
challenge we found with the new hardware
was optimizing the screen and simplifying the existing more complex workflows.
Dependencies: A second team in Berlin were
working on a sister controller, Maschine Mikro. The size range of keyboards
This required a close collaboration when it
came to workflows and styles to ensure
consistency.
Key learnings: Some negative feedback was
that it felt too clicky when searching for
sounds.

Start-up guide for KOMPLETE KONTROL
One of the company's missions is to enhance

can begin to make music more quickly and efficiently.
Through user interviews, we ascertained that
a simple on-boarding would help users get
started.
The result was a slide show with a simple user
flow walk-through with the option of then
visiting a wesite with more detailed content of helping users getting started.
