About the person

Originally from Bavaria in Germany, I moved to the Bay Area from Berlin more than a decade ago. Since then I’ve called this amazingly colorful, multicultural, vibrant and beautiful place my home.


The dichotomy between city and nature, water and land, beauty and decay, busy and calm, is what I ♥︎ most about the Bay.

I’m a curious animal and explorer of new things: DJs, art, cuisines, records, coffee drinks, books, bike, hike and snowboard trails, beaches and waves, saunas, landscapes, techniques, reading materials, dance-floors, and the list goes on.


If I’m not designing, I can be found putting myself into a flow of choice, or spending time with my loved ones.
