About

Me, pixelated.

I am a product designer — digital and physical — with a passion for the intersection between those two worlds.

I want to make complex systems understandable and elevate the experienece through simple and playful interactions. For example, I am designing and building a hardware prototyping software tool.1

Through speculative design, I want to explore what the future might hold and how we work with it.

Currently, I am working on bridging the gap between doctors and patients at Nelly.

Before that, I worked as a designer for IDEO. I also worked as a research assistant for Dunne & Raby.

I did my masters in Design & Technology at Parsons in New York City, and my bachelors in industrial design at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, where I am also currently teaching.

  1. It is called blokdots and started as my bachelor thesis in 2017.
