About

Hi, I’m Birgit. I’m a technical communication expert, information architect, and product-minded strategist based in Hamburg, Germany. After studying International Technical Communication and gaining experience across different companies and industries, I found my professional home in software development. Along the way, I discovered that what fascinates me most isn’t documentation itself. It’s helping knowledge move.

I enjoy building structures, strategies, and communities with the focus on making knowledge easier to find, understand, share, and preserve. Whether it’s establishing technical communication practices, shaping content strategies, mentoring others, or creating the foundation for AI-ready knowledge, I’m driven by this concept:

Knowledge becomes valuable when it reaches the people who need it, the way they need it.

Beyond my day-to-day work, I enjoy speaking at conferences, supporting young talent, and acting as a volunteer job ambassador to help others discover the fascinating world of technical communication.

Curiosity brought me to this profession. Sharing what I’ve learned is what keeps me excited about it.
