Info


 I am a product designer and consultant based in Zürich, working across design strategy, product development and material innovation. I develop products from concept through to production, with a particular focus on materials, manufacturing and detail. My work is grounded in close observation of everyday life and how people interact with the objects around them.

My experience spans furniture, textiles, footwear and consumer products. Most recently, I spent six years at On Running, where I held a senior role in Colour & Material Design, shaping design direction across multiple product categories and collections. Previously, I worked at Tom Dixon, Barber Osgerby and Patricia Urquiola Studio, developing large-scale projects for and in collaboration with companies including Vitra, IKEA and Hydro. I was also a Designer in Residence at the Design Museum London. My work has been exhibited and published internationally.

I am particularly interested in innovation driven by materials, processes, construction methods or emerging technologies, translating technical possibilities into relevant, manufacturable products. I work across research, prototyping and production with designers, architects, engineers, manufacturers and suppliers, using design to bridge technical possibility, user needs and product identity.

I hold an MA in Industrial Design from the Berlin University of the Arts and studied at NABA Milan. Today I work independently from Zürich across product, material and design strategy projects.
