Nóra Ökrös - Product Designer

About me

Hi there, glad to hear you’re interested in learning more about me!

You probably already know - I’m Nóra. I currently live in Winterthur, Switzerland, and I've been working as a product designer for over 3 years.

Since I can remember, I've always been curious and passionate about creative work. I transitioned from photography to web design and eventually found my true interest in the world of Product Design.

Growing up, I saw my father build his own business from scratch. This experience gave me a unique perspective - seeing things from both the business owner’s point of view and from the perspective of consumers. It truly shaped the way I think about products, people, and the world. (Thanks, Dad.💕)

Today, I consider myself a strategic thinker specializing in streamlining processes, designing systems, and creating products that are not only visually appealing but also feel right to use. My goal is to ensure that the solutions I design not only make users happy but also help businesses succeed.

While I enjoy tackling challenges independently, I thrive in positive, supportive, and well-organized work environments where collaboration brings out the best results.

When I’m not designing, you’d probably find me taking care of my little jungle of plants, lifting weights in the gym🏋️, hiking ⛰️, or playing video games🎮.

Not convinced or want to see the more formal version?

My principles

🌱

Experiment, evolve, succeed

I believe continuous learning and having a growth-mindset is the key to success in our ever-changing world.

In my journey as a designer, I've come to appreciate that the more I learn, the better I become, not only in my craft but also as an individual. It's a journey that's never truly completed, and that's what makes it so exciting and fulfilling.

🤝

Design with integrity

I'm committed to making design choices that prioritize transparency, honesty, and, above all, the best interests of those who interact with my work. I place a high emphasis on empathy and inclusivity and make design decisions keeping these principles in mind.

🦎

Adapt, don’t quit

Due to my background of living in 4 different countries, I know what it means to adapt to different circumstances, rules, and cultures. This experience has taught me that there's always a solution, even in the face of challenges.

🎯

Work with focus

I firmly believe that efficiency is key to creating exceptional user experiences. Whether it's streamlining design processes, or optimizing workflows, I believe structure, focus, and proper planning reach the best results.

Fun facts

🌱

The plant mom

Taking care of my plants and seeing them flourish is something that truly brings me joy. I guess I entered an era where there is no such thing as “too many plants”.

🌱

The crafty

I thrive on creating from scratch, whether it's crafting a Christmas wreath, painting walls in vibrant colors, or completely renovating a living space. Each project is an opportunity to plan, execute, and bring my ideas to life, which I love.

🌱

The Visual storyteller

I've always had a thing for capturing the beauty around me. It started with taking photos of nature, and now, I've fallen in love with videography. There's something truly enchanting about bringing moments to life through moving images.

🌱

The health enthusiast

You'll often find me at the gym, dedicating four to five days each week to strength training. It's not just about staying fit; it's a journey of self-discovery and resilience. I've learned that challenging my physical limits not only makes me stronger but also toughens my mental strength.
