social design

I like to be a  processdesigner who think outside of the industial design box.

helping generate human and ecological well-being. I feel a social, ecological and moral responsibility in my work.

I want  to connect with people from different cultures and professions: to learn about their life and work. A designer must develop a deep understanding of who the customer is and how they live. I’m fascinated by human interactions and also classic mechanical principals for products. Keep it simple and smart.

I'm inspired and impressed from these great people:

Victor Papanek

Dieter Rams

Sophia Magdalena Scholl

Martin Luther King

Greg Graffin

Study

By taking a closer look at structures in terms of production, materials, and human behavior in daily life, recyclingcan be recognized and improved. Projects begin with the study of one`s surroundings.

Ecology

Because of the limited condition of our natural ressources it is really important to me that commodities are used appropriately and with discretion. I do not support society exhausting those resources. While developing new products it is essential for me to consider the theory of „cradle-to-cradle“ Projects with ecological benefits.

Social behavior

To give people in disadvantaged conditions a better life through products and systems. Making alternatives more attractive. Projects addressing aspects of social behavior.

Foundations

By taking a closer look at physical and mechanic processes and laws you are able to look at details that can be used in different application fields. Keeping problems abstract is a great conduit for free and unconfined work.

Projects based on foundations.

Art

Projects with an artistic approach.

Methodic

a good circle

A systematic and methodic approach is a good guideline to me. This gives a golden thread to all of my projects and helps me to think out of the box. Each step and every phase in this process is important. Nevertheless it is a dynamic process in which you are looking back and forth from time to time.

Studying and understanding of problems and systems. Creating concepts trough experiences and knowledge, which then lead to appropriate solutions. Checking functions with models and presenting products or processes confidently and appropriate in the end of the project.
