and Craft?
= mindful design and craftsmanship
As a designer, you have a great responsibility – towards the environment, the users, the resources used and society. In order to meet this responsibility, mindfulness in the design process and a holistic view of things are required.
In design, I do not limit myself to the external form of objects, but also include their materiality and functionality.
My goal is to create objects that enrich our everyday life sustainably and let us experience our actions more consciously and mindfully.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. I see my task in critically questioning existing objects and processes and putting them into a contemporary context considering the surrounding conditions.
