Based on my experiences I am the challenging guy who never simply builds solutions, but always seeks to understand the root cause first.

Human Facts

I believe in common sense and the force of passion and I love bringing ideas to life, together with great people.

Driven by curiousity I strive for creating solutions that please our need of functional and emotional satisfaction. In other words: I design entities that work fine and feel right and thus create favorable experiences for all users and recipients. I do that in respect of strategic goals, user needs, the purpose of the originator and the available means.

I value empathy, precision, quality, sustainability and aesthetics. I'm open to design anything needed, the best I can – for and together with great individuals, organisations and companies. And I am always looking for challenges.Me, that’s a versatile, multidisciplinary communication designer with a strategic and entrepreneural mindset, a methodological and an experimental work-approach.

Besides from that I like crafting leather goods and furniture,  practicing yoga and telling others about the benefits of nose breathing.

Human Skills

I am an empathic teamplayer, honest and openly communicating. I am a flexible professional adapting to any team or environment and constantly expanding my knowledge and skillset. I give and I take, I care and I respect. I take a stand for me and others. I like to share knowledge and help people to grow. To put it in the words of an HR manager: "I contribute very positively to the corporate culture".

FROM MY SHELF

As a solution- and user-orientated designer, one of the most enriching qualities for me is to be curious to take different perspectives on familiar things or to discover completely new areas - through reading, experimenting and designing. Let me share a few topics from my shelf that have influenced my thinking and work.
