From 2011 to 2014, I was part of the organization team of the TEDxBodensee event. After my master’s degree in 2015, I have been working for the Y Think Tank of UBS AG in Zurich. The interdisciplinary team emerged future scenarios and visions, which were developed with design-scientific and social-scientific methods. According to the principles of critical design and speculative design, the visions were communicated to the outside world with design fiction methods.
In February 2017, I moved to IBM Design, where I am increasingly working on user-centric solutions for complex, digital applications. As a facilitator of IBM, I’m responsible for design thinking workshops. In 2018, I became an official Enterprise Design Thinking Coach. For my work with students, I became an Advocate for Enterprise Design Thinking as I manage the relationships between design schools in the German-speaking area and the IBM Design Studio in Boeblingen. I am a member of the AIGA Network in the United States, the Design Research Society in the United Kingdom, the German Society for Design Theory and Research (DGTF), and the German Designer Club (DDC).
