About me

I'm a designer with five years of experience in conception, product development and prototyping. As an allrounder with a technical background and hands-on attitude, I love construction - both in CAD-programs and manually.

Skills

The parts that make up my design

Industrial Design| My approach is user-centred. Usability and function are my priority. I base my design process on thorough research and I define the underlying problem clearly. It's also important to me that my concepts can be easily produced and assembled in the end.

Prototyping| I love to 3D-print models and I don't stop there. The workshop is one of my favourite places - be it table- or bandsaw, laser cutter or drill press - I know how to use tools and I can build prototypes quickly. I work with all kinds of materials - be it plastics, metals or wood.

Computer Aided Design| CAD-Programs are a central part of my work. They are crucial for planning, drawing, building and communicating ideas.

Visualisation| As a trained photographer, I know about the power of great visuals. My drawing skills help me to communicate concepts quickly and are a central ideation tool. For more elaborate visuals I will create 3D-renderings.

Human Computer Interaction| There is an increasing number of smart products which incorporate microcontrollers, sensors, motors and other components. I have built and programmed controllers, robots and automations - always with the usability in mind.

Milestones

Product Engineer

Creating innovative mattresses for the international market

I designed new mattresses and tested materials at Emma Sleep in Frankfurt. This involved the communication with stakeholders like Legal, PR and Product Scaling departments. Next to that, I constantly improved our abilities in the mattress testing lab.

Research Assistant

Developing a new technology at Münster University of Applied Sciences

In the research and development of InFoam Printing we worked with partners from the automotive, mattress and sports shoe industries. We created prototypes, processes and always had to react flexibly to new challenges.

Intern

Part of the Innovation Excellence Department at Covestro Deutschland AG

After taking part in the Covestro Makeathon, we had the chance to further develop our idea at Covestro's facilities. During this internship, we were able to experiment with polyurethanes, 3D-Printers and soft foams. This was only possible due to the vast support of the great experts from Covestro.

Lecturer

Teaching Cinema 4D to 40+ students

After my masters degree I taught two semesters of 3D-visualisation at Cologne University of Applied Sciences. My course touched on the fundamentals of modelling, texturing, lighting and animation. In preparation I re-organised the course content from scratch since the old curriculum was outdated.

Freelancer

3D-Modelling and Animation for res d

During my bachelor studies I worked for res d - a beautiful design and architecture studio in the heart of Cologne. I was part of several exhibition design projects. My job was to visualise concepts and museum spaces within Cinema 4D - a program for 3D-animation.

Bachelor + Master

Studying Integrated Design at Köln International School of Design (KISD)

I did my Masters Degree in Integrated Design. My focus was on smart materials, prototyping and parametric design.

Integrated Design is an interdisciplinary, international and project based course of study. This creates a highly creative environment where a hands-on-attitude is encouraged and everything seems possible.

I learned to lead team-based projects, organized events and embraced scientific methods in design.
