I am a trained carpenter, currently studying industrial design at Fakultät für Design - Hochschule München.
My work moves between craftsmanship and experimentation, combining traditional techniques with a clear, contemporary aesthetic. I explore how materials can be reinterpreted and combined in unexpected ways. Wood, leather, metal, and light are not just construction elements, but active design tools that define character and use. I value honest construction and visible craftsmanship. Joints, materials, and functional details are meant to be understood, not hidden. Every project follows a clear logic of use and structure.
Sustainability and durability are central to my approach. I work with long-lasting materials, often reusing existing objects, and design products meant to age well rather than be replaced quickly.
My design language is reduced and functional. I focus on proportion, precision, and material contrast instead of decoration. The goal is not to create loud objects, but quiet, well-built pieces that remain relevant over time.
