Creative Process

»One must still have chaos within oneself in order to give birth to a dancing star.«

Good ideas only come from a chaotic mindset in the first place. The challenge is to structure all thoughts and ideas to generate a creative, long lasting and sustainable solution.

I like to be creative in different ways and to express myself. For example dancing helps me to deal with a chaotic mind, be inspired and finding new ways.

I love to support my clients from the very beginning of an idea to the implementation of a great digital product. The foundation of a strong concept through discovery and research phase is essential for me to build the perfect digital product for the client, user and most important the society . 

I´m looking forward to colloborate and brining my different approach to your project.

Mission of Design for Society

Mission Statement

I want to bring people together, from different backgrounds, cultures and experience. Everyone has their own perspective which is unique and special. If we exchange, share our knowlege and experience and be open about other perspectives we can grow as an individual as well as a society.

I don´t want to talk only about society-centered design in theory I want to practical implement and use the power of the Design to build a better society and shape the future.

Vision of Design for Society

»Use the Power of Design to build a strong society.«

Society is a collect of different and unique people with different perspectives. Let´s focus on what brings us together as a strong and peaceful society rather than on what seperate us.

We have to overcome human short-term needs to build a solid sustainable future for society so that social cohension can be strengthend.
