I’M FASCINATED
BY TALENT


My philosophy:
 
⚬ Work with people who are better than you

⚬ Try to connect creative minds and create synergies

⚬ Find talents and guide them to develop their potential

It’s important to me to share my knowledge and experience. It feels inevitable. After all, the next generation is the one who will shape this world. And there’s a lot to do.



LECTURING



Since 2016 I work as a coach and lecturer at universities in Hamburg. These include and have included FSG, HAW, Design Factory and Fresenius.

My current courses mostly revolve around design thinking, design fiction and digital product development.

They cover the comprehensive digital workflow for disruptive products: trends, user research, design thinking & sprints, digital branding, creative execution, tools, prototyping. We usually try to find a topic first, such as “Fictional products to benefit society” and then see where we end up.



MENTORSHIP


In addition to courses, I am available as a mentor for final projects.
