Research Through Prototyping

Design Research | prototyping methodology | design ethnography

I am a design researcher and lecturer exploring the tension between prototyping and research. I investigate how prototyping facilitates speculation and participation in addressing eco-social transformation.

Currently, I am pursuing my PhD at the excellence cluster »Matters of Activity« Humboldt University Berlin. My academic contributions extend to teaching design research methodologies at several universities, and I am actively involved in organizing the dgtf "Design Promoviert" colloquium.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I freelance in facilitating participatory design formats.

Recent Activities

Publications, exhibitions, talks and workshops exploring prototyping methodology and design research.
