About
I am a 3D designer and creative technologist. Since 2024 I have been working at Mercedes-Benz on AI workflows and tools for UX/UI. Before that, I spent seven years at viastore building VR and AR simulations for intralogistics projects. I studied industrial design in Pforzheim and electronic media in Stuttgart. In my own work I make generative images and show them in exhibitions.
