“Since I was a child, creativity has always been a part of who I am — whether through music, sports or the way I explored my hobbies. My mom took me around the world from an early age and being exposed to different cultures really shaped how I see the world. That’s probably why I’m so drawn to diversity in design. I find it incredibly inspiring to see how different cultures express themselves creatively and over the years, those influences have naturally found their way into my projects and concepts.”
About Me
I’ve been surrounded by creativity for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing piano and violin, took part in competitions, became concertmaster and spent a lot of time performing — both solo and in orchestras. Music taught me a lot about discipline and focus, but also about teamwork and how powerful it is to create something together.
At the same time, I was always moving — sports were a big part of my life. I tried everything from tennis and golf to karate, horseback riding and swimming. But my real focus was figure skating and ballet. Both are more than just sport — they’re a form of art. And I loved that balance between movement and expression. I took part in competitions, performances and those years really shaped how I see aesthetics and beauty today.
I was also always drawing, painting and spending time in nature with my grandma. That curiosity for visual expression led me to study Architecture in Darmstadt, then continue with a Master in Interior Design in Manchester and later a second Master in Architecture in Barcelona.
Studying in different countries was very important to me. I grew up traveling with my mom and was lucky to experience different cultures from an early age. That shaped how I see the world — and how I see design. Every culture has its own way of creating, building, designing. It’s something that fascinates me deeply and that I try to reflect in my own projects. I love exploring how space, light, form and material can tell different stories depending on where you are and who you’re designing for.
Design, for me, is not just about what looks good — it’s about what feels real, what respects its context and what connects people. That’s why diversity, culture and identity are central themes in my work.
Another part of who I am has always been my connection to social causes. My mother founded a non-profit organization when I was a child and I was involved from the very beginning — helping, organizing, learning. That experience shaped me deeply and gave me a strong drive to use creativity and design for something meaningful. I believe that design can be more than just beautiful — it can be a tool for change. I’m especially interested in how design can help in crisis zones or underprivileged areas and it’s something I’d love to focus on more in the future: using design to bring dignity, safety and hope to people who need it most.
