I finished my degree in Interactive Media Design  in 2020 at Hochschule Darmstadt, University of Applied Sciences, exploring a new approach to post human-centered design.

While studying, I took part in the ideation and prototyping of human-centered, responsible & future-oriented concepts. With the projects ranging in their topics from supporting grieving children to bringing privacy to smarthomes, they are reflecting my approach to design:
They are always founded on deep user research, concepts are refined by early and rapid prototyping and validated by extensive user testing as well as open, reflective and self-critical evaluations.

Parallel to my freelance work, I'm working as a research assistant at HfG Offenbach on a guide for sustainable mobility design.
