About
I am a Product Designer based in Düsseldorf with a background in agriculture. As a trained farmer, I bring practical knowledge of ecological systems and food production into my design practice.
My work focuses on the eco-social intersection of agriculture and design, exploring how thoughtful design can support regenerative practices, sustainable production, and stronger connections between people and the environments they depend on.
Through research, experimentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I develop projects that bridge the gap between agricultural realities and future-oriented design.
Cultivated Objects is a design concept exploring the intersection of regional agriculture and design. The project asks how agricultural landscapes can serve as a starting point for design practice. Developed in close collaboration with local farmers, it investigates the creative use of agricultural by-products, resulting in a bio-based material and the Cultivated Bench. All raw materials are grown, processed, and ultimately composted within a 50-kilometer radius of Düsseldorf. By working with existing farming structures and local resources, the project highlights the relationship between people and agricultural culture. Inspired by the form of a small straw bale, the bench makes regional and sustainable agricultural systems visible through design.
