Co-founder coko
I very much enjoyed working with Clara! What stood out was her ability to think in creative solutions. Especially in the agile startup world, you need a high level of flexibility, empathy and customer-centric approach - a skillset that Clara has incorporated. At COKO she was responsible for design related task as well as creating a unique user experience of our digital solutions. Her motivation to run multiple rounds of iterations of prototypes in order to receive the best possible outcome were of great value for us as a company. She pushed us further with her drive for creative and innovative design processes including all stakeholders. All while paying great attention to detail and care for design execution, from concept through delivery, working iteratively and collaboratively with the team on initial concepts, user flows, visual design and prototypes.

Having been one of Clara’s teachers and mentors over the last three years, it’s been an absolute delight to see her development as both as a creative and strategic thinker. I’ve been impressed at her tenacity, creative bravery, and willingness to leap into the deep end of whatever I’ve been teaching her - whether that be design thinking, brand strategy, or future foresight. She is a curious and hard-working thinker who would complement any Master’s program she sets her sights on!
William Ruggier,
Co-Founder It's not Made in China
Clara joined our business for four months of international work experience in 2019. Her role was to handle all the business social media needs. Prior to her work experience with us, our social media was a forgotten department and Clara revived the department for us. She is passionate about social media and was quick to understand our brand and then use her initiative to create social media activity and build our social media presence. She is efficient and makes things happen fast. She also had to help us in an emergency situation when our company came under social media attack, and Clara kept her cool, and helped us through this tricky situation.
Ruben Hammel,
Co-Founder Sustomer
We, with Sustomer, brought Clara Schumacher on board in June 2022 to support us in the areas of marketing, brand building and design. Right from the start, we particularly liked their motivation and their practical, solution-oriented work. Your support for social media content, the development of a marketing strategy and everything to do with design issues has helped our company tremendously. She was also given the task of training our intern and was able to give him valuable tips, illustrate processes and thus help him to become familiar with the design world. Clara's extensive bachelor's and master's expertise coupled with her practical experience with sustainable start-ups has not only strengthened our team, but also enriched it on a personal level. Clara's friendly and open manner made working together pleasant and positive.
