The new year has begun - and we already have a lot to tell! ??
Impact Hub Bern
We empower entrepreneurs and organisations to create innovative solutions for people and the planet.
It’s a wonderful feeling to finally be back at the Hub! After completing my communications internship in 2020, I spent five long years searching for a place where I could feel just as comfortable and know that my work contributes to making the world a little brighter. But I quickly realized that it’s not so easy to find such a place.
Accordingly, I’m super happy to have found my way back to the Hub as the Marketing Lead, where I can help shape our community ??? I’m passionate about everything related to colors, shapes, and communication. For me, design is a language to interact with the world and evoke something in others. At the Hub, I have the opportunity to combine my passion and values in my work.
As a Mediamatician, UX/UI Designer, and now Marketing Lead, I’ve built skill sets that help me align my passion with my values. I’m really excited to get to know you all better ??. Maybe we’ll see each other for a Coffee or during the next Cake a Break?
Looking forward to meeting you ?? Warm regards and enjoy the read!
Michelle Bettschen | Marketing Lead
