I am a designer who innovates for the average consumer.
It means that I always try to be the average Joe and find the true motivation for this Joe to be better. How do I achieve this? I always keep the most primitive and intrinsic motivation in mind when designing products.
This gives me the power of uncovering the truth behind the mask of compliance to norms.

I want to target the core of the societal problem by prompting creativity and curiosity in schools since with today's system I believe that is what is lacking most.
Furthermore I believe by fostering a society where everyone is a maker and unafraid of the future, innovation will sprout and consumerism would slowly fade and become a flaw of the past
My Professional Identity
I am a designer who innovates for the average consumer.
What does that mean?
It means that I always try to be the average Joe and find the true motivation for this Joe to be better. How do I achieve this? I always keep the most primitive and intrinsic motivation in mind when designing products.
This gives me the power of uncovering the truth behind the mask of compliance to norms.
I do not feel tied to a rigid structure of a design process and am open to exploring different directions and opportunities as they arise. I use it everywhere in the process, as a tool for spontaneity and detachment from norms. When you think less and feel more, you often come up with either idiotic ideas that don't make sense or something revolutionary that hasn't been made before.
My perseverance hangs on the shared passion with others which is why I always mirror the effort that everybody else puts into the project or idea.
Which is why I see myself being in an environment full of passion and energy, such as in the Startup Landscape or in Innovation Management.
