Jan Dittrich

Jan is a design researcher and anthropologist. After working for USEEDS° and Wikimedia Germany e.V. they now work on their PhD at the University of Siegen.

I focus on researching user needs with qualitative methods. How I do this I have written down in a little online book: urbook.fordes.de/. I also use statistical methods, surveys, usability testing and heuristic analysis. I would like to expand my skills and knowledge of participatory design in open source projects. I have used PD in some projects at Wikimedia. I have a solid understanding of UX design and its principles. I have experience in working with design systems and created a small one myself for Wikimedia Germany’s donation page. I do some programming myself (JavaScript, Python, some Clojure and R) and I worked with and in Open Source communities, so I have a good understanding of open source software creation.
