About me
Re-thinking topics in and with design - that is my passion. Design is more than just making things beautiful. Making a positive impact through design is what drives me every day. As an industrial designer, I am moved by people. As a design leader, I strengthen design as an economic added value. As strategic thinker, I lead design strategies holistically. As a speaker, I rise issues as social value of design. As a juror, I stimulate discussions for the quality of the design. I live design in an interdisciplinary way collaborating with different experts to drive the quality across all boundaries. I believe in networks to learn constantly new perspectives and drive the social responsibility of design. Therefore I am board member and vice chairperson of DDC Deutscher Designer Club e.V. I build empathy with users, customers, brands and companies to shape goals and solutions in a value-creating way. Therefore I lead the Interface Design business unit of zweigrad designstudios.
