About me
Currently he is working on new hardware (internet routers and cordless fixed line phones) to increasingly improve the user experience for Telekom customers.
Before that he was a senior designer and project leader at IDEO Europe, based in Munich. During that time he has worked on projects for clients such as Braun, HP, Yello Strom, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, LG, HEAD, Western Digital, Motorola, P&G, Pepsi, Nestlé, Maggi, Bacardi, Ravensburger, Avaya, Interlübke, Cappellini, Steelcase, Magis and others.
Some examples for his work are the ‘airflow’ tennis racquet range for HEAD, which received an IDSA award in 2008, the best-selling ‘My Book’ external harddrive range for Western Digital and the creation of a brand based design language for Yello Strom. This project resulted in the design of a number of products including the ‘Yello Sparzähler online’, that was awarded with a reddot in 2008, and the design prize of the federal republic of Germany 2009 in gold, the highest design award in Germany.
Fabian strongly believes that a brand and its products need to be based on concrete user needs and desires to become a long term success story. He is particularly passionate about creating a link between product semantics and the brand promise.
Fabian holds a diploma degree in Industrial Design from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, where he recently held a design class. He also frequently mentors BA-thesis projects there and at the design schools in Offenbach and Munich.
During his studies Fabian worked for Werner Aisslinger on various furniture projects and has developed a severe passion for furniture, lighting and interior design ever since.
Projects Fabian led or worked on were in these fields:
- brand based design languages (
