Fat tires, a sturdy steel frame, a big iconic moped lamp and a long seat with space for up to three people. Urban Drivestyle is a young Berlin-based company that focuses on developing electric bicycles that are anything but conventional. Development of the UDX, a BMX-style electric bicycle in just three months, with two different frames, three fork types as well as many accessories.

Researching and developing advanced and media-triggering design solutions by using a parametric and generative design approach combined with BigRep's product portfolio of large-format FFF 3D printers. Collaborating with companies like Airbus, BMW and BASF on speculative design projects. Guiding and managing projects as well as mentoring junior designers. Visualizing in 3D and presenting project results.

Leading a research team & project and working together with engineers, material scientists and orthopaedic technicians. Creating a parametric and generative design process for prosthetic sockets. Developing a robotic-assisted manufacturing method to fabricate 3D-printed and carbon-fibre-reinforced prostheses in Grasshopper. Working closely together with patients. Visualizing and presenting project milestones. Reporting and controlling.

Explaining opportunities to new members and interested people by introducing rapid prototyping techniques, CAD programs, Grasshopper and 3D modelling. Helping startups at the beginning of their entrepreneurial journey by supporting them in Rhino and Grasshopper. Disrupting old manufacturing processes by using parametric and generative design methods in the design process in medical engineering.
