UR3 Robotic Arm Interface
design
During my »Integrated Design« studies at KISD in Cologne, Germany, I worked in various design disciplines, fostering a holistic approach to design. While I explored traditional fields such as communication, industrial, service and interface design, my focus sharpened on these broader terms:
Modulator
The Modulator is the Ableton controller I always dreamed of. I designed and developed it over a 2-years project as part of my live techno set. Any parameter in Ableton can be mapped to the Modulator. It can then be overwritten with precise control (2048 steps) via a high-torque knob on the controller and smoothly […]
Making (Non-)Sense Workshop & Paper
As part of my work at KISD (2021 to 2025) and within the joint research project about the interplay between AI and design (gestaltung.ai) I developed a workshop with my colleague Rahel Flechtner from HfG Schwäbisch. It was held in 2023 both at the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd and here at KISD in Cologne with students […]
Unfolding Space
The Unfolding Space Glove allows blind or visually impaired users to haptically sense the depth of their surrounding space and thus (hopefully) better navigate through it. The device was drafted and developed within the framework of a four-year design research project. In 2021, the prototype was tested in an empirical study with 14 sighted and blind […]
Work for Allroundteam GmbH
From 2017 to 2021, I worked part-time as an interaction designer at Allround GmbH in Cologne. The main client was the automotive industry, for which I developed future in-car concepts for Ford. Unfortunately, the material we worked on is protected by an NDA, so I can’t share any of it. The title image is an […]
Further Study Projects
I chose to show some further projects of my integrated design studies at KISD in one post: these are works from my early semesters from 2013 – 2016. (no)Space (2016) Put on your headphones and prepare to experience more than just a song; you will also hear the spatial sound of the location where it […]
Counting the Dead
Background Over the past 20 years, hundreds of thousands of people from Africa and the Middle East have left their homes in search of a better life in Europe, hoping to find peace and freedom. The right to asylum is protected by the Geneva Convention and the constitutional rights of European countries. However, the policies […]
