My best days are full of tasty food, long walks, great design, and quality time with friends. I like photography, books, piano music, also architecture and interior design.

Throughout the past 21 years, growing from a little toddler who painted his walls with sharpies, I have fostered my curiosity to build and create.

The concept of minimalism helps me to simplify my life and make space for essentials: people and connectionships, creation, solitude, and chai latte. For greater serenity gives one peace of mind.

To design honest and meaningful products, it is necessary to try to understand people’s needs and interact with everyone eye-to-eye. I try to listen and provide a safe space for everyone.

“Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.”

Bernard Meltzer

Experience

As of 2020, I work as a freelancer, leading to wholesome collaborations with Appmotion and FIVE AM. Actively socializing in the design bubble paved the way for many fruitful friendships.

Sites like Read.cv, Minimal Gallery, Dark Mode Design, lowwwcarbon, Godly, or Siteinspire humbled me by featuring some of my work.

Currently Product Designer at Studio Lenzing.
