My Journey as Architect &
Interior Designer
Before transitioning into UX, I worked in architecture and interior design.
This experience shaped my ability to organize complexity, balance function with aesthetics, and communicate ideas visually. Here’s a glimpse into that journey.

Selected Works
Ecore One — Modular Hydrogen Energy System
Employment at N+P Innovation Design GmbH / 2022-2025
A self-sustaining power module that combines hydrogen fuel technology with solar panels to generate clean energy for residential or commercial use.
Designed as scalable blocks, the units can be installed in private yards or industrial sites, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional grid systems.

Reddot winner 2024
BMW – FSZ Fahrsimulationszentrum, München
Employment at RKW Architektur + / 2016-2017
Contributed to the floor planning and façade design of BMW’s state-of-the-art driving simulation center.
My work focused on developing conceptual façade studies, refining the final design through multiple iterations, and preparing LP3-level drawings for approval.
The project combined high technical requirements with a distinct architectural identity — translating BMW’s precision and innovation ethos into built form.

Aurelia / Deep Sea Research Station
SS15 Hochschule Anhalt
Designed autonomous drones and the research station for deep-sea climate research, applying collective intelligence for distributed sensing.
Explored growth patterns and clustering through digital simulations and physical experiments.
Translated adaptive behaviors of deep-sea organisms into engineered design strategies.
Built context-aware computational models responsive to environmental constraints like pressure and energy, using an iterative workflow of testing and refinement.

Awarded Best Project of the year
The Float Project
WS14 Hochschule Anhalt
Explored self-organization principles to imagine future sea-based cities in Amsterdam Area.
Used Processing 2.0 simulations alongside physical experiments to test growth patterns.
Early master’s project that combined computational design and urban speculation.

EXO / Weaving in Architecture
SS16 Hochschule Anhalt
Experimentation with fabric form-finding using tension and compression to explore structural possibilities.
The investigations then applied to a flood-rescue context, resulting in compact, low-cost pods that function as both transport and temporary shelter.
The forms were tested through structural analysis software, and the most optimized design was developed further.
