“Freude am Konstruieren statt Klotzen” [“The joy of creating rather than showing off”] – Jörg Schlaich
This motto has accompanied me for a long time and very aptly describes my passion for design. Design should be simple, intelligent and somehow magical. And above all: It should always tell a clear story. What excites me? Leaving out the unnecessary and always questioning the status quo. Thus the focus of my work is initially not the object itself, but rather the process. This in mind, my many years of diverse experience as a product developer help me to implement projects effectively and in a human-centric way. Reflecting deeply on the project partner’s relevant considerations is important to me, as is engaging in creative dialog to develop ideas, concepts and strategies together - everyone brings his or her own strengths to the table.
