What drives me is translating sustainable innovation into physical experiences.
I unfold my deep methodological and technical understanding in several fields, including experience in product, mobility and spatial design. Outside office hours, I can be found on my road bike, roaming the woods picking mushrooms, or baking Quiches and cakes.
PRINCIPLES
Collaborative
As a passionate team player, I am convinced that a thriving culture is crucial not only in a workplace, but also when striving for sustainable innovation. Only by breaking down silos and embracing open source approaches can we design for a truly circular, regenerative future.
Systemic
Navigating today's challenges, we need a strong systemic sense of the structures around them. The more intertwined and interdependent processes get, the higher the value of connecting the threads becomes - manifesting conceptual insights into tangible, executable deliveries.
Connected
Spatial and social mobility are deeply intertwined and have great influence on people's quality of life. At the same time, transportation is a major contributor to global emissions. This makes the intersection of environment, infrastructure and objects so relevant to design at.
