About me

I graduated in December 2008 at the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago and am currently seeking a full-time position as a design and innovation strategist - preferably in the US, Germany or France.
 
During my design planning studies at the IIT Institute of Design I focussed on topics like design planning (what to make?), strategic design (where to go?), innovation performance assessment (are we doing a good job?), sustainability and healthcare/wellness/experience.
 
My time at ID was probably the best time in my life. I worked on very challenging projects with great people from all over the world and established a great network to prospective design leaders, and design/innovation experts.
 
During two internships in the summers of 2007 and 2008 I worked for the SAP Design Services Team in Palo Alto/California, which is part of the Office of the CEO.
 
Before coming to ID I studied at the Hochschule Darmstadt/Germany a program of study called 'Media System Design' - a multidisciplinary program that combines the fields of economics, design, technology and project management.
 
Before switching my career to become a designer I managed a music production company. I worked for almost ten years in the music business as a music producer, sound engineer and DJ.
