Biography
I am a creative leader with a strong vision and more than 20 years hands-on experience in the digital design realm. With a background in Industrial Design, I started my career in international design studios where I gained solid experience in various verticals before zeroing in on the automotive industry 14 years ago. I’ve worked for BMW, Mini, Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Audi, Porsche amongst others and have held in-house positions at BMW Group Design and now Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design. I combine multi-faceted creative skills with a profound expertise in the Human Centered Design process in general and the UI/UX development of cars in particular.
