Why am i a Designer?
After graduation, I spent a year volunteering near Lake Constance, working with children and people with disabilities. There, I saw firsthand how well-designed objects and interfaces can make a huge difference in people’s lives — offering independence, clarity, and dignity.
That experience made me see design as more than just aesthetics — as a tool for change.
I went on to study Digital Product Design and Development (B.A.) at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, a tech-driven, interdisciplinary program where I learned to turn insights into intuitive systems by working closely with both designers and developers.
Now, I’m continuing that path in the Strategic Design (M.A.) program at HfG. My focus lies in connecting research, business, and social responsibility — aiming to create design that’s not only functional or beautiful, but meaningful and future-ready.
My goal is simple: to design for real life. Design that’s more intuitive. More human.
