I'm an independent product designer located on the Gold Coast, Australia. I specialize in sports product, with over 15 years of experience designing footwear and product for brands such as Nike, DC Shoes and Vans.I grew up in Germany, and later in life moved to the USA, where I combined my passion for solution driven product design and sports. I successfully led and commercialized dozens of footwear projects, built and led teams, and worked closely with top athletes such as Rafael Nadal, Naomi Osaka, Brooks Koepka and Travis Rice.I am currently building a product design studio with focus on meaningful and sustainable product solutions within the sports and active lifestyle industries. I aim to create deeper consumer-to-product relationships, rooted in longevity, sustainability and the joy of movement.If you're interested in collaborating, I'd love to hear from you.
