me in a nutshell

  • I have strong skills in current design-relevant applications and I am able to share and teach this knowledge. Many workshops held during my years of study were rated as well prepared and well taught by the participants.
  • I am able to accommodate flexible to new situations.
  • Platform independence is essential in professional life. The ability to work in a team is not new to me, as I have been working in different networked constellations since 1994.
  • Design is not a strange form of poetry for me. Especially I am interested in its operability and portability.
  • I was involved decisively in organization and realization of multiple international art and culture events.
  • “specialization is for insects” (Robert A. Heinlein) – to be a master of his trade is essential. But the designer nowadays often is seen as a counselor, who customers expect creative competence from.
  • I am a member of AGD (6655) and of VG Bild-Kunst (128 07 88).
  • I am a life-guard (bronze), und ich spreche zugegebener Maßen besser Deutsch als Englisch, but I always try to find the right words in English.
