Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Christiane Moser

I was born in Salzburg on 5 June 1983 and have a deep connection with this city. I went to school in Salzburg, studied here, and then worked successfully in research for 10 years. In February 2018, I took the big step into self-employment (freelancing) and founded my own company CUXpro. As a Customer & User Experience Professional, I work with SMEs in Europe on (re)designing digital products.

I was already fascinated by the topic of human-computer interaction during my applied computer science studies. After my studies, I was able to apply and deepen my knowledge in research at the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Salzburg for 10 years.

My passion has always been to create user-friendly digital systems together with developers and users. Therefore, I have focused my research on user research, especially on requirements analysis, co-design and evaluation.

My Journey to CUXpro

 Applied Computer Science Studies

Focus Human-Computer Interaction (2002-2008)

Programming at university was exciting but I was more fascinated by the focus on HCI at the University of Salzburg.
In my master thesis I developed a "Web 2.0 Interaction Paradigm".
In my bachelor thesis I researched "Tangible Computer Interaction".

 Commercial High School

Focus Business Informatics (1997 - 2008)

Already in my school days I was fascinated by computers and the interaction with them.
Here I gained my first programming skills and an interest in interacting with computer technologies was awakened.
In my high school thesis, we created a learning software called "Learning English Grammar Bit-by-Bit"
