My career has moved from transportation and product design toward increasingly specialised yacht exterior design.

After early experience in industrial design and multidisciplinary creative environments, I joined yacht design with a strong focus on advanced 3D modelling.

Over five years, working alongside naval architects and engineers within an engineering-led studio, my role expanded from translating profiles and concepts into complex exterior geometry to directly developing deck spaces, bespoke furniture, surfacing and complete design areas.

This progression led to project-lead responsibilities on selected yacht areas and, eventually, to leading the exterior development of a complete yacht concept from my own design proposal.

Today, advanced 3D remains central to my process, increasingly combined with sketching, visualization and AI-assisted design exploration.

I grew up around machines, objects and stories of making things.

From a great-grandfather remembered as an inventor to a father who taught me to recognise an engine before I could properly count. That early curiosity naturally led me to Transportation Design, beginning with automotive, and later through product design, Berlin’s artistic scene and eventually yacht design.

Alongside my professional work, I maintain an artistic practice focused on light, video and spatial installations, while exploring real-time visualization and AI-assisted design workflows.

I am interested in design as a constantly evolving discipline, and in working with people and projects capable of pushing both the work and my own practice further.
