About Me
Hi, I’m Kathrena Dakwar – a passionate designer with over eight years of experience crafting user-focused, visually captivating designs across automotive, aerospace, and tech industries. My expertise spans across visual UX design, interaction design, and concept development, with a strong background in advanced UX for both physical and digital spaces.
Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to innovative projects at companies like Mercedes-Benz, where I led concept design and advanced visual UX for next-gen automotive interfaces. My approach is centered on blending creativity with usability, ensuring that each design not only looks striking but also enhances user experiences through thoughtful interaction and seamless functionality.
With a master's degree in Industrial Design and Transportation Systems, and an ongoing MBA, I bring a strategic, business-minded perspective to design. Whether I'm shaping the future of vehicle interfaces, contributing to brand innovation for global tech leaders, or creating virtual environments for the aerospace industry, I’m driven to push the boundaries of design to make technology feel intuitive, accessible, and inspiring.
