Entrepreneur Industrial designer Project lead
Currently leading design projects at AIVAN in Finland
I move teams from ideas on post-its to testable experiences, quickly and collaboratively, reducing risk and clarifying business decisions.
I work on human-centered products, services, and complex systems, combining empathy, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving to translate user needs into clear, effective solutions. By aligning user experience with business and client goals, I deliver meaningful outcomes and long-term value across product scales.

Prototyping
I believe the best creative and innovative approaches come from iterative learning through tangible prototypes that enable timely, informed decisions.

Effective prototyping mitigates risks and accelerates the discovery of optimal solutions.
Skilled in sketching, CAD modeling, CNC milling, and other tools, I create prototypes that drive meaningful insights and user experiences.

About
Originally from Switzerland, I now reside in Finland with my Finnish partner and our two children. We relocated in 2022 to embrace the opportunity of living in a multicultural family and to explore Finland's rich culture and natural landscapes.
I believe that empathy, creativity, and strategic planning are essential to delivering impactful results and creating meaningful, lasting journeys.

Profile
Industrial Designer with a strong focus on human-centered design and efficient, pragmatic execution. Experienced in leading design projects from initial sketch exploration through to detailed, production-ready files.
Collaborative by nature, I work effectively with multidisciplinary teams to translate ideas into well-resolved, manufacturable solutions. I combine creative vision with technical precision, shifting seamlessly between concept development and detailed execution to deliver clear, functional outcomes.
Motivated by ownership and continuous learning, I value open-mindedness, diversity, and shared growth, and I am driven to realise thoughtful, forward-thinking design solutions from concept to production.
