MY VIEW ON DESIGN

To me design is so much more than work... it’s about changing everyday life for the better. Therefore I love to think beyond products and really focus on creating the best experience for people.  

I think that as designers we need to learn from people and apply technology accordingly, and not the other way around. I feel that’s the only way how we can create those magic moments we all crave for when interacting with products… “You know when you try a new thing, and it just magically works and makes you smile”… for me that’s the holy grail and what I strive to achieve with every project.

VISITED COUNTRIES

I love to explore new places and try out new things... the world is full of surprises and the search for them is endless if you want it to be =) What I also do is that I combine my travels with my passion for water sports (it took me to places I would have never gone to otherwise) and of course my love for food.

OUTDOOR SPORTS

The way I relax and charge my batteries is to spend as much free time as possible in the nature. Nature has so much to offer and I try to make use of it all year round. So no matter what that conditions are like I am always up for standup paddling, surfing, kiting, snowboarding, mountain biking or just cruising down a hill on my longboard.
