About
Why am I a designer?
I grew up in Frankfurt am Main, where a design-focused high
school sparked my interest in how things are made and how
they shape experience.
After graduation, I spent a year volunteering near Lake Constance,
supporting children and people with disabilities, a time that showed
me how design can enable independence and dignity.
That perspective led me to study Digital Product Design and
Development (B.A.) at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, where I learned
to translate insights into intuitive systems alongside other designers
and developers.
Now, in the Strategic Design (M.A.) program at HfG, I focus on
connecting research, business, and social responsibility — aiming
for design that’s functional, meaningful, and future-ready.
My goal: design for real life. Intuitive. Human.
