Born from a fascination with tech's power to amplify human potential, I wasn't always a designer. But my techie soul craved not just consumption, but creation. Now, I pour my passion into designing products that aren't just shiny gadgets, but meaningful tools that elevate the human experience.

My Story
About me
Austria + China = Madagascar?
This may sound like an intriguing equation, but for me, it's a formula that defines my design identity. With an Austrian father, a Chinese mother, and a childhood spent on the special island of Madagascar, my roots are deeply embedded in a rich tapestry of diverse cultures. Fluent in five languages – English, French, German, Mandarin, and Malagasy – I bring a unique perspective to the world of product design. This blend of cultural influences serves as the foundation for my creative endeavors, where every language and place I've called home is an essential part of my design intuition.

Madagascar: Designing Possibilities in the Unexplored
In Madagascar, a land where 90% of its flora and fauna are unique, starkly contrasts the reality that probably less than 10% of global design thinking has been invested in developing nations. Much like the island's exceptional range of endemic life, the design landscape here stands largely unexplored and undiscovered. Recognizing this untapped potential, I am driven to bridge this gap by driving innovative design solutions that echo the richness of Madagascar's unique biodiversity.

Vienna: The Start of Human-computer Interaction
My time in Vienna was during the height of the pandemic, giving me more time to introspect and think about my career goals. This was when I discovered the field of Human-computer Interaction, and decided to pursue it academically. The city served as the catalyst for my intentional pursuit of HCI, fueling a keen interest in understanding the intricate interplay between technology and human behavior. I also became fluent in German here.
