The central screen is the main structure of the dashboard. The infotainment for the passenger and the steering wheel are radially fixed to this central console and can therefore be rotated! This makes it possible to change the driver and passenger position with one rotational movement!

In the interior, I tried to achieve a digital, functional and future-oriented design. The so-called functional band houses all mechanical and digital control elements. This means that the display, switches or buttons can be replaced or renewed without, for example, changing or redesigning the entire dashboard or door panel. The interior of a rental car will be very worn out in a few years, the variability of the
design means that SVEN can stay in the market for much longer and the costs of keeping the vehicle up-to-date are kept very pleasantly by this functional design, because instead of a completely new vehicle, the worn out ones Elements exchanged and the design refreshed.
In this project, was responsible for the entire design process of exterior and interior. As the lead designer fo the project, I had the brief to design a car for pure sharing as.
SVEN stands for sharing vehicle electric native, with its length of 2.5 meters and its 3 seats, the challenge was to find an overall fit and functional form that fits into the
modern cityscape. An important factor in the design was the possibility to create derivatives. Both the exterior and the interior design are characterized by the fact that many elements such as headlights, cameras, displays can be redesigned or replaced without having to change large body parts or interior panels.

Hi,
I‘m a graduate german product designer since 2014 and looking for a new challange in my career.
Throughout my professional journey, have had the opportunity to work on and manage both small and large projects, starting from a junior designer role and progressing to a design manager and lead designer. As a product designer, I have been involved in designing various products, including power tools, and overseeing the entire process from the initial sketch to the final CAD data set.
My most significant project experience to date is the automotive project SVEN. I was the lead designer of the project and designed the full vehicle, taking charge of both the interior and exterior aspects. This project successfully made its debut in Geneva in 2019, a moment of particular pride for me.
As a passionate designer with a highly inquisitive nature, am eager to take on new projects and challenges. am a team player, sociable, possess a great sense of humor, and enjoy spending time in nature, listening to music, and engaging in sports. As a petrolhead and i love to spend time driving my Fairlady Z34 and tune it as much its possible. am an open-minded person and have never worked outside of Germany, so it would be a nice experience to be creative in a new country and meet new people, it is definitely a step would like to take for my career goal. I would be happy to tell you more about myself in a personal interview and convince you of my professional and personal qualities.
