Financial Planning Dashboard

Read case study

Problem

A fragmented budget planning process required extensive manual work, while financial information was difficult for users to navigate, leading to low confidence in the data.

End-to-End Workflow App

The education and training request workflow relied on manual checks, data transfers and error-prone calculations, creating unnecessary work for employees and HR.

Solution

Gamified Skills Development Platform

Read case study

Problem

Digital transformation has been a strategic priority within the Swiss Federal Administration for decades, yet many organizations still struggle to translate it into concrete action.

Solution

About

It's nice to meet you

Hello, visitor! I'm Anouk Fontaine, a UX Designer and BI Analyst at the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in Bern, Switzerland, where I help colleagues make better decisions through intuitive tools and interfaces. You can talk to me in French, (Swiss) German, English, or a mix of all three.

I've worked across public administration, finance, human resources, and the hotel industry, giving me firsthand insight into a wide range of organizational challenges. My constant drive to make things easier for both my colleagues and myself has led me to apply UX design principles in every role I've held, whether UX was part of my job title or not. If you're curious about my journey, feel free to explore my detailed LinkedIn profile .

My Master's degree in Business Administration, combined with further education in UX design and data visualization, allows me to bridge business strategy, analytical thinking, and user experience.

I care about harmony, both in my designs and in the teams I work with. I’m curious about new technologies and eager to learn new tools, preferably by doing, from AI and web development tools to BI platforms and even music production software. I also believe that humour makes collaboration and problem-solving better.

In my free time, I'm also ah nuk, writing and recording songs in my bedroom, or outside taking snapshots.
I'm also really into noodle soups. My favourite one is at Mondo in Bern, got any worthy contender?
