Emerson Schroeter

I'm a UX writer based in Berlin -- my pronouns are they/them.

I think good words make the world a better place and I work actively toward creating braver, safer, and more inclusive and equitable spaces. I'm also a plant parent and cat servant--with a colorful career history:

From managing a movie theater (before digital projection -- so magical!) to working as a barista, a substitute teacher, a customer service rep in a call center, a university instructor, and then a content marketer in ed tech -- always with a focus on user/customer/student needs.

When I discovered UX writing and design, it was love at first sight. I'd already adopted this human-centered approach, but suddenly I had a framework for it -- a language to articulate it, and impactful ways to apply that skillset!

Oh hey, and I'm transgender/nonbinary and queer. While I'm happy to talk to anyone interested in these topics, I'm definitely giving priority to mentoring time for other queer folks who are working or looking to start a career in this area!

Please note that I don't offer referrals to positions at HelloFresh unless I have a longer-term and ongoing professional relationship with a mentee and feel great about their work and ways of communicating and collaborating.

I check my calendar every Friday to see if I can open additional slots for the following week--so you can check on Fridays to see if anything's open for the following week 😊 Otherwise, you'll see new time slots popping up 3-4 weeks out.

Keep in mind that I'm offering limited sessions each week to make sure that I still have time to do my best at my own full-time job and still show up for myself and the other humans, plants, and animals in my life 🌱
