How I work

Having worked in many different fields, I have become an expert in the process of developing innovations and shaping solutions for and with people, regardless of the industry.

Approach and Process

Leveraging experience in design and innovation, I focus on developing user-centered solutions that enhance safety, usability and patient outcomes through a research-driven process.

Approach and Process

While not my primary field, I excel at creating intuitive experiences by focusing on user needs and leveraging technical possibilities to ensure seamless and engaging interactions.

Approach and Process

I transform original ideas into viable concepts, ensuring a seamless customer experience and develop additional services that enhance engagement and adoption.

Approach and Process

I focus on usability and aesthetics, turning ideas into reality through hands-on, life-size mockups and detailed CAD models, from pre-production to final realization.

Approach and Process

I work closely with clients to define goals, structure effective methods, and facilitate workshops or co-creation sessions that drive meaningful results.

About design-visions

By visualizing desirable futures and making them tangible and relatable we enable ourselves to reflect on where we are headed – and where we would like to be.

The basic idea

The concept splits and restructures the international container shipping routes as a necessary consequence of todays deficits and connects them offshore.

The basic idea

This project aims to reduce and improve the use of light in public urban areas with state–of-the-art technology and interactive components infrastructure.

Why I do it

To highlight the otherwise often overlooked but immense value of freely created solutions from design students

When it became a reality

In 2014 it was unthinkable, by industry professionals, to transition to e-mobility. Just eight years later, in 2022, electric feeder ships were already a reality.

When it became a reality

What seems obvious and logical has not yet become a reality in terms of public interaction, though charging points on lamp posts have.

What I can do

from innovation pitches, co-creation workshop moderation and interaction concepts to strategic, user experience focussed industrial design

Experience

From initial user research with UX-mockups for Philips to technological design visions for Siemens and CAD-modelling of design developments for JFR Medical.

Experience

For design for human nature I initiated the relaunch of the website, lead the design of the new UX and interface and worked closely with developers to supervise the realization.

Experience

I shaped business cases, sketched and visualized concepts, built proof-of-concepts, led experience workshops, briefed partners, and supervised realization and optimization.

Experience

We were tasked with creating a physical work environment for agile work settings, specifically from moderatring workshops and drafts to pre-production CAD drawings.

Experience

I create open-minded settings, structure work sessions with clear goals, and moderate co-creative processes that turn diverse input into actionable outcomes.

What I do

I curate forward-thinking student projects, selecting and presenting work to make emerging ideas visible and inspire new perspectives in design and beyond.

Focus

As a socially directly experienced component that connects old with new interfaces, the feeder ship is of utmost relevance and design focus of this work.

Focus

LP_01 is the next generation of public lighting. It enables flexible, future urban development and resident-infrastructure-interaction.

Where I've been doing it

- design for human nature GmbH, Strategy Lab and Design Studio

- Essential Design, Boston, MA

- Masters degree, Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design

- Co-founder of IM PRINZIP GbR

- Bachelors degree, Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design

Background

After my masters degree in medical design I worked on healthcare projects from diagnostics systems to treatment tools and realized a nesting and resting solution for premature born babies. As it was my focus for several years I am familiar with the challenge of navigating creative and innovative concepts through technological and safety restrictions towards a feasible, desireable and viable products.

Background

As part of the integrated medical and interface masters program of the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design I always viewed the user experience as a combination of products and their interaction, whether with physical or digital interfaces.

Background

Through diverse projects ranging from small retail formats to flexible work environments, I built a strong background in developing spatial concepts that enhance experience, service add-ons, and interaction quality across physical settings with digital service integration.

Background

From the early projects like hybrid concepts of furniture and fitness equipment to more recent works like iconic brand embassador displays for a bakery or a skincare company – I am fascinated by the positive impact well thought-out and produced objects can have on our lives.

Background

I have been trained in public speaking and performing before going into the creative industry which now helps me to focus on work while in front of people – and work with them on their challenges, opportunities and goals.

Origin Story

Years after my masters degree I stumbled across news about the shipping industry, indicating a shift towards smaller container vessels and electric feeder ships – two core components of my bachelors thesis. Are design students the better consultants?...

Background

Our society is manifested in the seaport. An overwhelming 90 percent of all goods are transported by sea. Considering the effects of global warming this percentage might increase.

Background

99% of all Europeans live under light polluted skies. Light pollution is one of the most rapidly increasing types of environmental degradation. With its epicenter in urban areas the current use artificial light may affect the environment and human health more than assumed in the past.
