about me.

Whether it’s through stunning designs seamless user experiences, I’m dedicated to delivering work that resonates.

Bio

I grew up near Cologne, driven by curiosity about how things are made — and how they could be better. Over the past decade, I’ve developed products across Europe and Asia, working closely with factories and clients. With experience in industrial design, product management, UX, and sales, I’m passionate about solving real problems creatively and thoughtfully. I bring clarity and energy to every project — from first sketch to final product.
