As designer and curator, I’m exploring what our designed surrounding reveals about us. Through objects, exhibitions and writing, I work towards engaging and poetic perspectives on societal challenges, inviting people to become active in shaping the worlds they want to be living in.
Alongside my independent practice, I serve as chairwoman of Design in Gesellschaft, a Vienna-based design collective focused on design’s social role, and oversee the Design section at Forum Stadtpark in Graz. I hold degrees in Mechanical Engineering from TU Wien and in Industrial Design from the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where I studied with Fiona Raby and Anab Jain.
My work is part of the permanent collection of the MAK and has been presented internationally, including at the Design Museum Holon (IL), Triennale di Milano (IT), Gent Design Museum (BE), Vitra Design Museum (DE), Design Museum London (UK), Bal Robotov (RU), Jerusalem Design Week (IL), and the Biennale Internationale de Design de Saint-Étienne (FR). In 2018, I was included in the European Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
