As a product designer with a solid background in mechanical engineering, I bridge the gap between technical engineering and high-end aesthetics. Through my experience at Dresden University of Technology and the Fraunhofer Institute, I am adept at translating complex functional requirements into intuitive and visually compelling design solutions, achieving a symbiosis of form and function. Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about music (piano & sampling) and sports (football & snowboarding).
