Silicon Valley Mindset in Germany
This is what I stand for:
Creativity & Design beat Processes & Hierarchies
Technology with a positive purpose
Design Thinking
I learned the scientific background of design thinking during my time at UC Berkeley and supplemented the theory with practical experience hosting DT workshops at Europe's leading aircraft manufacturer.
Today, I use DT in many areas of my life and acquired a creative mindset through various trainings and projects - always focusing on a "human-centered design".
Spatial Computing
My affinity for VR and AR developed when I first wore an Oculus headset. After this, I focused my research on this topic, e.g. through a semester project at UC Berkeley and my master thesis at Nordakademie Graduate School. In addition to SPAC.Design, I am in the founding phase of a VR startup that aims to revolutionize how we work together in hybrid work environments.
2 Passions United
Last but not least...
I want to emphasize that the positive impact of a technology is always my top priority. Spatial computing does not aim to replace in-person interactions with digital encounters. In my opinion, it is a technology that builds on our real world.
