I am an artist and designer focusing on social interfaces and variants of human-technology interaction and communication. In my work, topics like embedded values in technologies, living environments and social implications of new media crystallize in various objects and installations. Following my fascination for gestures, materials and haptics, I love creating bridges between digital- and physical realms which sensually enrich and inspire their users. This can e.g. be seen in the work ‘Tidal Space’ (2021), a vision for family friendly home offices. In 2018 I co-founded the design and research studio ‚Cream on Chrome‘ based in Rotterdam, together with designer Martina Huynh. Together we transform (design) research and complex ideas into tangible, interactive experiences. For our recent project ‘Washi Futurism’, we are researching the material and immaterial values of handmade paper, as well as strategies for the mise-en-scène of paper. This collaboration with Japanese artisans will result in a book to be published in September 2024 .I hold a Master of Arts in Social Design (Design Academy Eindhoven, NL) as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Bauhaus-University-Weimar, DE). Next to my design practice, I enjoy being active as an educator for interaction and industrial design.
