ABOUT ME I am a designer and musician from Munich, living in Barcelona. After I completed my diploma in Communication Design in August 2016, I worked and travelled for two years to extend my horizon in various fields. Before I decided to study design, I was a semi-professional musician and also collected a lot of work experience all over the world, like China, the US and several countries in Europe. I composed music for big companies such as Volkswagen or FC Bayern supporting their media appearance and represented our firm abroad. In the past year, I have been studying at the Master in Design for Emergent Futures at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, exploring the role of new technologies in the near future and learning how to tackle emergent societal challenges through future forecasting and the design of interventions. During my studies, I expended my knowledge in a lot of areas like art direction, graphic design, interface and multimedia, AI and machine learning. The attendance of Fab Academy 2019 complemented the master, giving me complete knowledge of prototyping through digital fabrication and a deeper understanding of the makers culture. The master and the Fab Academy combined allowed me to gain a holistic perspective on the development and production processes behind new technologies and understanding of how these processes could be applied. Through my work, I had the chance to participate in a high variety of projects. I was part of creating a book, producing a documentary movie and organizing a multi-artist concert series in Paris, London, Berlin and New York City. Besides these experiences in professional areas, I always had a high interest in technological developments. I am always eager to hear about new acquisitions that tackle the challenges of our society and environment. The experience at IAAC showed me a new way to work with innovation, one that is mindful of the context and caring of the process. In the future, I see me being part of a project or company, to enrich the community and society with products and services. I want to focus on the topics politics, education, socio-economics, social interaction and especially emerging technologies. I am always looking for new challenges and exciting projects.

MUSICROOM app & interface design concept Experience music like never before! Musicroom offers a new path off the beaten track to discover and enjoy music on a whole new level. Enter the rooms and experience what it means to enjoy music. You will find tracklists compiled by curators perfectly fitting to every room, backgrounds and history to the artists and their songs and a place to philosophize about songs and albums with your friends. Musicroom is an app concept as part of my thesis. My goal was to connect our most essential aspects from the past to the digital era of music today. Visual impressions shared listening and discovery. The main focus of this work was photography, interface design and app-prototyping. 5

Phone Farm (ing)

PHONE FARM (ING) master project Phone Farm (ing) utilises idle sensor data and processor capacity of our phones while reducing their negative effect on social interaction. The network of farm-stations will provide safe storage and charging for phones whilst harvesting sensor data and processing power. These sources work towards an open source cloud database and computing network. Stations will be placed in social spaces like clubs, bars and restaurants. Many studies have shown that the excessive use of smartphones in daily life harms our face to face interaction. Phone Farm (ing) is asking users to lock their phones in a Farms for the time of a visit in social interaction spaces like restaurants, bars, concerts etc. In return, the farmers earn attention coins which can be spent in partnering places like bars, restaurants or clubs. Additionally, for leaving your phone in the phone farm, you will be rewarded with the undivided attention and interesting conversations with friends. The accompanying app maps out locations where to find the Farms, the partners where to spend the coins and a friendslist to compare who was less on the phone. Phone Farm (ing) not only motivates you to spend less time on your phone while having social interactions but also shares available resources to the community for a greater good. phonefarm.eu 7

SMART ALARM product design This smart speaker is designed to be on your nightstand. It will help you to fall asleep as well as to wake up. The goal of this concept is to make the presence of the smartphone unnecessary in the bedroom. It provides all the features we got used to. A little OLED screen shows the time and only lights up when you wave your hand over the speaker. The control elements are limited to gesture, one knob and voice. The speaker wakes you up, based on your sleep. You can decide beforehand if you want to wake up to music, a news podcast or just an alarm sound or soundscape. A selection of audiobooks and podcasts are stored. On request, one of the audiobooks or podcasts is played. Additionally, you can also listen to soundscapes like rain, wind or waves. The integrated sleep monitor automatically turns off the sound as soon as you fall asleep. 8

EMANUEL PROJECT speculative design concept Emanuel is an AI assistant, that builds an infrastructure helping you to gather and manage information about your everyday life - in the right spot and the right context. It gives you a new tool to make you aware of your habits, their, and what is happening in your direct surrounding. Different pillars like ML for analysing your routine and sources, software like the Emanuel app and hardware that lets you access the Emanuel environment are carrying the infrastructure. Emanuel can be asked questions about specific topics and can be challenged. Start a discussion, ask for more details, dive in deeper or ask for a different perspective. In this project, I developed the concept and built prototypes with a Raspberry Pi, an open source AI assistance like Snips and Mycroft and Telegram chatbot. 10

TRIP & PLANT app concept Ever thought about how big your ecological footprint is after having a trip with a plain? Ever wished you could do something about it? Trip & Plant helps you to calculate the caused emission of your trip and helps you to donate money to organizations who are planting trees to save our planet. I made the app concept and designed the interface. 12

SEHNSUCHT NACH FREIHEIT documentary & documentary book Sehnsucht nach Freiheit is the name of a project that commemorates the 60th anniversary of the popular uprising in 1956 in Hungary. In a documentary film and book, not only the background of the struggle for freedom against the communist dictatorship are explained, but it is also described together with historians, contemporary witnesses and important protagonists of our society, the historical context of European history from then until now. The participants are Guido Knopp, Hubert Burda, Mikhail Gorbachev, Gregor Gysi, Edmund Stoiber, Sigmar Gabriel, Kai Dieckmann and many more. My tasks in this project were primarily art-direction, layout, production, writing, research, copyright, editing, assistant-director & photography. The documentary aired on Kabel Eins Doku. 14

WWF WITHOUT CAMPAIGN print - & poster campaign In this campaign, the acute problem of overfishing of the oceans is addressed and serves to educate. The idea of the campaign is to compare empty oceans with exaggerated situations from everyday life - according to the statement: A Sea Without Fish Is Only Water The motifs support the respective claim by displaying the designated scenarios. This campaign is posted as part of a term paper. Concept and art direction come from me. The following claims have been developed: A Gallery without Art is only a Room A City without People is only a Landscape A Street without Cars is only Tar A Sky without Stars is only Darkness 16

FAB ACADEMY How to make almost everything The Fab Academy was part of my master Design for Emergent Future, as the IAAC university is placed together with the Fab Lab of Barcelona in one building. Fab Academy is a hands-on focused, rapid prototyping and digital fabrication course. I got in touch with laser cutting, CNC, 3D printing, programming, electronic design, 3D design, Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards, sensors etc. This course was very inspirational also to leave the screen and to explore the relationship between bits and atoms. 17

WINGS OF FREEDOM World tour of the Man Doki Soulmates Wings of Freedom was a world tour in a class of its own. In Paris, London, Berlin and New York City, the Man Doki Soulmates played unique concerts in honour of freedom. With a total of 35 Grammys, the who-is-who of rock and jazz stood on stage to perform their own and shared songs of the last 25 years. A breathtaking show in sold-out halls. My tasks within this project were the organization and coordination of the concerts, communication between all trades, art direction of marketing campaigns, promotion, sponsoring, social media, development of the campaign for the new markets Paris, London and New York City. 19

PHOTOGRAPHY landscape During my travels last years, I experienced that you get the most different and complex influences from different impressions. Never completely catchable what it feels like being away, I tried to capture the moments of past, nature and light. 23
