Hey there!

a few words about me

and why I love what I do

portrait2b-1

I use design

                            to provoke a better tomorrow in the fields of digital transformation, innovation and service to face wicked problems and foster valuable sustainable growth for our future.

About Me

Thanks to my creative childhood education in Munich and the secondary technical school for social affairs, I have realized I want to use my artistic talent to benefit people and the environment.
My way as a designer started at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich with a Bachelor's in Industrial Design. I got enabled to identify problems and develop approaches and implementations through trial and error, with functional, aesthetic and sustainable characteristics.
The Master's course Strategic Design at Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd was the perfect supplement. I got empowered to push my boundaries and understand design as a tool for research, future studies and management.

My Interests

Besides my profession, creativity and crafting is a big passion of mine, be it photography, repairing or handicrafts. When I'm not dealing with future and design affairs, you can find me on my self-assembled racing bike, with my Fuji camera or as a cat dad at home experimenting with gluten-free recipes in the kitchen.

Way of Working

                         With a background in three-dimensional design, I have moved away from understanding design as purely physical and service-oriented. Through my skills as a strategic designer, I aim to capture the whole systemic context and change. I can place the convergent and divergent ways of design into various cases.

      My methods apply design-, futuring-, and strategic thinking and doing.

      My toolbox enables me to move non-linear and provoke new limits.

      My objective is to create a sustainable and valuable human-centered approach.

Finally, I make possibilities and probabilities tangible, creating artifacts, services and products thus implementing ultimately fitting strategies or desired futures.
