Denise Braun

With over 7 years of experience in digital product design, I specialize in creating seamless, high-performance user experiences for complex ecosystems. Currently, I act as a Senior UX Concept Lead within the BMW Group’s infotainment department, where I shape the future of in-car interaction for upcoming vehicle generations. My background in both the automotive industry and enterprise software (Shopware) allows me to bridge the gap between deep technical architecture and intuitive, brand-driven design.
