I design interaction systems: Physical controls, haptics, light, voice and software for smart products. At Ford lead trans-disciplinary teams across Cologne, Mexico City, and Palo Alto for Ford Motor Company.
My work on physical-digital controllers defines Ford's next-gen of interiors. Not yet launched, it shares some DNA with my released dial ↗
I invented and scaled a drivable hardware-in-the-loop prototyping platform adopted company-wide in eight months. I shipped Ford Explorer EV ↗ in Europe.
Before Ford, I co-founded a two-person studio exploring embodied interaction beyond screens: MonkeyBots ↗
I return regularly to my Bauhaus alma mater, Weißensee School of Art and Design, to teach interaction design with a focus on prototyping.
