Optimization of Information Structure

Optimization of Information Structure

Initial Situation:

Initial Situation:

The analysis of an online course showed that the existing information structure did not align with users’ mental models, making it harder to navigate and find relevant content.

Based on these insights, I designed a new information architecture with a more intuitive structure for content and navigation. The concept also provides a scalable foundation for future course expansion.

Optimizing Onboarding Emails Based on Process Analysis

Optimizing Onboarding Emails Based on Process Analysis

Visualizing the onboarding process revealed outdated content and information gaps in the automated communication. Based on these insights, I optimized the onboarding emails to better align with the user journey.

The result: Support requests related to course login were noticeably reduced.

Guided Tours

By analyzing support data, I identified recurring usability barriers around navigation and content discoverability within the online courses. Rather than addressing individual support issues in isolation, I developed a user-centered guidance strategy combining contextual on-screen tours with improved microcopy.

The result: Support requests related to navigation and content discoverability in the courses were reduced by nearly 100%.

About me

Hi, my name is Daniela B. Estévez – although most people know me as Gianna, a name I've carried since my teenage years in West Berlin.


Throughout my career, I have been fascinated by how people perceive, understand and engage with information. Over time, this passion evolved into a focus on improving human-computer interaction and creating user-centered experiences.


As a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist and studying at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). I made this dream come true, but eventually decided on Social and Business Communication, as the combination of scientific methodology and aesthetic-artistic aspects was the ideal mix for me.


As a graduate in Social and Business Communication, I have passionately and successfully continued to develop in various roles and areas of communication as well as product and project management. Through targeted further training in design thinking and user experience design, I have constantly deepened and specialized my knowledge.


This path has shaped a versatile skill set:

  • Designed user-centered experiences as a Digital Experience Designer (UX/UI), creating clarity and simplifying complex structures

  • Coordinated web projects for the public sector as product owner and project coordinator

  • Founded a company and launched a patented product on the market

  • Restructured Lufthansa’s customer magazine as interim manager and developed its digital edition concept

  • Realized printed building banners and radio spots as an agency-side account manager

  • Managed live news production for public television as editor on duty

  • Led word radio programmig as head of radio broadcasting

  • Wrote corporate publishing articles as a freelance editor

  • As a camper, I enjoy traveling with my camper van

  • As a human being, I remain curious – always learning, exploring and evolving
