Trained in design and visual communication at the Folkwang University of the Arts (Essen, Germany) and the Zurich University of the Arts (Switzerland), and having completed a doctoral degree at the HFBK Hamburg, my work is situated at the intersection of design, theory, research, and teaching, where practice and critical reflection are closely intertwined. As a designer, I am primarily interested in projects located within socio-cultural contexts, ranging from graphic design to spatial situations; in this capacity, I have worked for theatres, museums, and NGOs, with a particular interest in forms of design that allow for doubt, reinterpretation, and productive friction.

My theoretical work focuses on the social, political, and more-than-human dimensions of design and engages with the interface between design and technology. Academic exchange plays an important role in this context, and I am a member of the German Society for Design Theory and Research (DGTF), the Design+Posthumanism Network, the Design Research Society (DRS), and the International Gender Design Network; I currently serve on the executive boards of the first two organizations.
