Hello, my name is Sebastian "Basti" Jarrass and I would like to tell you a little bit about myself.
My journey is as diverse as it is inspiring, shaping the way I approach and solve problems creatively. What drives me most is creating solutions that embody the principle of "less but better", trying to focus on simplicity.
In 2022, I took a significant leap and advanced my career deeper into the exciting world of UX/UI design. I love looking at things from every angle, combining my passion for games with a relentless curiosity for new technologies. This fusion allows me to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also highly functional.

About me

HOW I WOrk

In my day-to-day work, I embrace the human-centered design process, starting with a strong foundation of empathy —often by engaging users with thoughtful questions to truly understand their needs. I then define the problem, which frequently involves revisiting and refining initial assumptions. Ideation is where creativity takes center stage; I generate a range of ideas, from the inspired to the unconventional. From there, I build and test prototypes, gathering invaluable user feedback that uncovers surprising insights—sometimes revealing unexpected needs. Through iterative refinement, I strive to craft designs that not only meet user expectations but bring them genuine satisfaction and delight.

Watch from different angles - With a background in Game Art and  3D animation, a third dimension always comes in handy. Looking at things from different angles can overcome obstacles that seemed insolvable.

Beeing empathic - Understanding the user is the key to a succsessfull product. Ultimatly Empathy also helps to understand all stakeholders and their wishes and thus contributes to the success of projects.
