Hi there !
My name is Christian. Born and raised in a small village in the black forest I graduated as a Product Designer from the University of applied sciences in Schwäbisch Gmünd. For me Product Design is not just a job like any other. It‘s my attitude to life. I always observe products, colors, trends etc. in my everyday life. As a Product Designer I feel responsible to create products in a simple and efficient way. The User is the center point of the whole design process. I'm really interested in new materials and production techniques and how they can give new possibilities for us as product designers.

Since 3 years I work as a freelance designer to develop new product lines for various customers. You need support in functional Product Design? Let me know and I'll come over to introduce myself to you no matter where you are based.
Scandinavian Influence
Living and studying in Finland in 16/17 changed my
connection to nature a lot. More than 100.000
lakes. 16 people per km2 in comparison to
230 per km2 in Germany is a huge difference
and gave me a new understanding of the
word „Silence“. How many times have you
been on a place without hearing anything else
than wind for two hours?
From a designer point of view I learned a
lot about sustainability, „Design for all“ and
the methods of being more creative by just
doing things more relaxed. Stress is the
rival for creativity. Being more relaxed in
stress situations helped me already to solve
problems more clearly.
Freelancing
Already while studying I realized that freelancing is my thing. During my time in Schwäbisch Gmünd I worked as a Freelancer for different companies. Otto Hutt for example – a writing instrument company that has a great production line in Germany never had a product designer before. It was a great opportunity for me to help them making three new product lines and a new packaging for an exclusive pen series. Today I have over 3 years of freelance experience and several customers from different product fields.
Modeling
Being able to do several internships in modeling such as plastic and metal working before my studies was a great benefit for my technical understanding. During my studies and my time as a product designer I complemented my knowledge about production techniques like injection molding, paper working and 3D Printing.
My time as a Production Manager at THINKS Design, Hamburg was great to gain experience in communicating with asian manufacturers. To keep the production process cheap and efficient, I always have the production techniques in mind when I develope a new product
