Change is demanding – and that’s precisely the point. I work with organisations and cities that choose to engage with the challenges of our time honestly – designing the processes, formats and spaces. Life long learning for me is a principle of designing and a fundamental impetus. Please, take a look at my LinkedIn profile for a more detailed CV.
Systemic Designer, Strategist, PhD candidate
My work sits at the intersection of research and practice. Over the past years I have designed and led real-world experiments in urban mobility, facilitated multi-stakeholder processes across civic, municipal and policy contexts, and developed participatory formats that help groups think through futures they cannot yet clearly see. I work across disciplines, translate between different logics, and am most useful in situations where the problem itself is still being defined. Much of this work grew out of my doctoral research at TU Munich, where I led a real-world laboratory project on car-reduced neighbourhoods as part of MCube – the Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility.I trained as an industrial designer, which means I am comfortable with ambiguity, drawn to complexity, and interested in the connections and interactions. I care about work that reaches beyond the report or the workshop – into actual decisions and lived experience.
Based in Munich. Open to projects and roles at the intersection of systemic design, transformation, and urban innovation.
In addition, I enjoy teaching and have completed the Certificate in Higher Education Teaching (Hochschullehre Bayern) within the Bavarian university didactics programme, following national standards of the German Society for Higher Education Didactics.
Co-Founder and Partner
überkochen e.V.In my studies of the M.Sc. program in industrial design at TUM I had the great chance to develop my own social enterprise together with Constanze Buckenlei. What might design offer for the educational sector? We started with this research question and kept on working on a new and practiced-based way of learning. überkochen e.V. brings cooking into classrooms and combines it with classes for maths, physics, English and so on. In 2018, we got honored as Kultur- und Kreativpiloten by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy. There is still a lot of motivation and work to do in activating students in their interests and enabling them to live the SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals – in their daily lives.
