AFTER WORK:
PERSONAL PROJECTS
During my free time I design and build my own products. I often start with the raw material to experience the whole design- and manufacturing process.
After my initial training as an aircraft mechanic and turning photography from a hobby into a side profession, I studied Industrial Design at Zurich University of the Arts. During my studies, I discovered my interest in sustainable and thoughtful solutions on a product or system level. My goal is to actively contribute to projects with a positive impact on people and our environment.
