I am a designer, researcher and sailor based between Hamburg and Berlin. I work where ecology, culture and material meet, and I am interested in the systems that connect them: who makes things, from what, for whom, and with which consequences.

My practice starts with close observation of ordinary things. A door handle, a bar of soap, a coil of rope or a strip of washed-up seagrass can tell a lot about the networks of people, materials and non-human actors behind them. From there I work with research, prototyping and participation, in workshops, residencies and collaborations with communities, makers and scientists.

I studied product design at HFBK Hamburg and UdK Berlin and completed a master's degree in Process Design at UdK Berlin in 2024. Since then I have worked as a freelance designer, and in 2026 I co-founded the design studio Liminal together with Laura Laipple.

For me, design is a social practice. What we make shapes how we live together, and I understand design as a way of working towards a world we want to live in.
