About
I’m Petra Kühnle, a Berlin-based designer and researcher who blends design with audio, data storytelling, and accessibility. I partner with interdisciplinary teams to transform complex data and technologies into intuitive experiences.
Recent projects span data sonification for NASA-inspired prototypes, AI-regulation guidance, and tactile-visual frameworks for neurodivergent communities. I enjoy turning ideas into practical prototypes, bridging the gap between developers and end users, and sharing knowledge through open documentation and workshops.
