I am a passionate industrial designer specializing in the design of capital and consumer goods.
For almost three decades, my practice, pr-ide, has been developing solutions that harmonize technology, function, and aesthetics.

My focus is on the design of capital goods – machines, devices, and systems that are in daily use and where good design makes all the difference.
My affinity for new technology helps me in this, which led me to the web early on:
This is how Germany’s first hotel blog was born, which we designed and implemented – and which has won multiple awards.

I’m fascinated by identifying problems before anyone even notices them and finding unconventional solutions.
I enjoy developing unusual design approaches, rethinking products, and surprising people with ideas that work – with a growing focus on sustainability.

Inventing is my passion.

When there is no client project pending, I work on my own ideas – from the “PapMan,” who made a career as a trade fair avatar, to the stainless steel grill ZWEEnHALB and what is probably the flattest grill tongs in the world: FLACHwieFLUNDER, both made in Berlin.

I can immediately see what can be improved on every everyday object—a blessing and a curse.
My sketchbook is full of ideas that often result in real products.
