About 

My biggest passion and inspiration is people and their everyday life. As a designer/architect I find it fascinating to observe, learn and try to put everyday life into a design language, give it a shape and transform the environment. 

In order to approach any task, I have a toolkit, which I always improve and experiment with, but the crucial ingredients stay the same: it’s my hand drawings, which help me to document and express ideas, as well as work with the physical models [for sure, I work with the digital environment, but I see it as a supportive tool].

Education 

Hochschule Anhalt, Dessau, DE, MArch, DIA

I have successfully completed 2-years Master Program at the Hochschule Anhalt. During my master studies, I have been able to do 1 semester of exchange in India, which gave me an opportunity to explore cultural diversity and architecture of this place.
My final paper was focused on the issue of everyday life and it's fast changing demands, both in working and living conditions. During the thesis, I have been able to conduct various interviews with makers in Berlin, which gave me a small overview of the current scene of small entrepreneurs and their demands, which became a basis for my design proposal.
