With 20 years in design across education, workplace, defense, and mixed-use, I love turning ideas into solid designs with creative thinking. My diverse experience lets me pull from unexpected influences, creating concepts rooted in different ways of working.

I'm all about addressing social and cultural shifts, crafting spaces that are diverse, nature-friendly, and people-centric.

I’ve grown up in Hamburg in the north of Germany in a family full of property developers. As the only creative in the family, I’ve always pushed to prove my point: that design is an important essence in all our lives and that it should bring joy to the soul. It is that responsibility I feel for what we create and the impact it has on the lives of people that we may never meet, that keeps me pushing for outcomes that I enjoy and that create an impact at least at some level.
