I design, teach and speculate — not always in that order. My work moves between Industrial Design and critical inquiry, shaped by extended detours through Germany, the UK, Japan, and Switzerland. I am interested in how design can do more than solve problems; how it can expand what we imagine as possible within the entangled relationships between humans, non-humans, technologies and ecologies.
As Head of the Master's and Research programme in Industrial Design at Zurich University of the Arts, I have developed a new curriculum that emphasises experimental, research-led and transdisciplinary design practice.
Over the past decade, I have worked at the shifting intersection of design and technology. In 2014, I co-founded the London office of Japanese innovation firm Takram, collaborating with partners such as Toyota, Tamron, MIT Media Lab, and Moovel Lab to envision new products, services and forms of interaction.
My projects have been exhibited internationally at the Saint-Étienne Biennale, London Design Festival, Power Station of Art Shanghai, Vienna Biennale, and Mudac Lausanne, where my work is part of the Permanent Collection.
I have taught at institutions including the Royal College of Art London and regularly contribute to conversations on design, technology and innovation through lectures, panels and workshops.
I hold a Master’s in Design Interactions (2012–14) from the Royal College of Art London and a BA in Industrial Design (2008–12) from the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel.
