Projects

a selection of projects I worked on

Interactive Installations

Bringing together hardware, software, UX and UI design to create an experience that captivates, touches, or even challenges people in a way that nothing else has done before, is what makes interactive installations truly exciting to me.

Block

Block allows people unfamiliar with blockchain technology to approach the topic at their own pace, from their own starting point and in a playful way.

UX / UI Design

Designing for people's experiences with a product or service while balancing the needs of the user with those of the business is what makes UX design a intriguing challenge for me. No two products or services are the same, but by applying the right methods and tools, each user's expectations can be exceeded.

Speculative Design

Questioning how our world works, provoking thought on how, why and when we act, questioning societal rituals and making the invisible more visible. Speculative design in my opinion, even if somewhat frowned upon, is by far one of the most powerful tools for driving change.

The Creation

A performance in three acts. A critique of the idealization of perfection.

Bubbletopia

Bubbletopia visualizes the impact of humans on natural ecosystems and simultaneously highlights that preservation depends on human intervention.

3D Works

3D renderings are invaluable when it comes to making ideas and concepts more visually tangible. Whether it is digital content to bring a UI design to life, a concept for an upcoming trade fair or just some fancy background for a portfolio, working with 3D programs gives me the opportunity to go beyond rigid reality and experiment with what can sometimes seem a bit bizarre.

The Human Cube

The Human Cube is a 3D animation of a human-like cube.
