Hi there,
I’m a Designer based in Berlin with a focus on social innovation and
Co-founder of the Education Innovation Lab. With a broad background
in Communication-Design, Interaction-Design and Design Thinking,
I bridge disciplines ranging from Art Direction, Concept development
to User Experience creating innovative services and products to
drive change within society.
Hi there,
Design for people instead
of clients and for change instead of consumption
The last years I mainly worked in the field of digital product development with companies like Siemens, Cornelsen, Deutsche Telekom and Volkswagen . Besides working in the corporate sector for me it’s very important to work with social businesses and NGO’s. I’m convinced that they are important key drivers to foster change. Believing that Human Centered Design as methodology and mindsetholds huge potential to empower people, you can find me on events like Kids-Hackathons mentoring youngsters to tinker with technologies, at conferences like re:publica teaching people how to build rapid prototypes or coaching students in Service Design at the Global Service Design Jam.
