I am passionate about building meaningful product experiences. Leading the Industrial Design team at Wacom (Japan/Germany) I have built multiple generations of pen and touch displays of different sizes as well as pen tablet PCs which delight our customers every day, mainly professional creatives but enthusiasts too. These people work many hours with these products making their living with digital art creation. They really appreciate the comfort, usefulness and quality of my designs. To express this quality I'm focussing on accuracy down to every detail, choosing materials honestly and take a lot of care with engineering and manufactures when implementing the design concepts to mass production. For most of these products I'm also responsible for the packaging design and aim to provide an outstanding out-of-box-experience leading the customer to a flawless set up of the products and give them the feeling of a proud ownership of an extraordinary product.
Always aiming for innovation I started at Wacom in 2011 as the inventor and lead designer of the innovative Wacom Cintiq Companion, Wacom's very first pen tablet PC.
Before I was working with the Braun design team for the new topline shaver Series 9 direction and visualised the new design language 2008–2011.
Since 2007 I'm teaching industrial design at the university of Wuppertal, focusing on design process methodology and the advanced use of digital creation tools.
Beside industrial design I'm also specialising in the design and visualization of technical products, creating various multimedia productions for automotive and machinery companies like ThyssenKrupp, Philips, Clark, Hydro, Achenbach, Goebel IMS etc.
