CONCEPT & 
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN 

From first insight to finished prototype. Concept and industrial design that moves through research, ideation, form exploration and CMF direction.

ART DIRECTION & 
VISUAL STORYTELLING 

Art direction and visual storytelling shape the mood, the staging, and the imagery, so that the product and its presentation speak in one voice. And hereby giving the product a world to live in.

STRATEGY & 
CONSULTING 

Sometimes what's needed is a design language built to scale, a sharper lens on a concept that has stalled, or packaging deliberate enough to earn its place as the first touchpoint.

Industrial designer based in Cologne, with a strong foundation in concept exploration and development, CMF and visual storytelling.

Working with internationally acclaimed agencies over the years, I've honed my expertise at the intersection of design innovation and functional aesthetics: translating and refining needs and opportunities into tangible objects and crafting product experiences where function and bold aesthetics reinforce each other.

My work is multidisciplinary by nature, currently pivoting around home and lifestyle accessories, furniture and consumer electronics, though rarely limited to any one category. I am drawn to the overlap where a home device earns its place like a considered object and a piece of furniture carries the subtle logic of something well-engineered.

Collaboration sits at the core of how I work and what I believe design can be. The best outcomes come from working closely with the people who commission them.​

Always open to projects that challenge the boundary.
