Invisibobble is a hair accessory own brand of New Flag GmbH. My duty is to design innovative hair accessories. That involves lots of insights, to come up with the next painless, super practical hair product. I work on various products such as: hair clips, hair volumizers and hair claws. They all combine innovative shapes and curves to aalow for material flexibility and resistance. The goal is to achieve specific painless hair technologies, and produce patents. The Invisibobble Waver develops the patented 3D helix design.

Foamie is a sustainable personal care own brand of New Flag GmbH. I’m in charge of designing all the solid care bars for all the ranges: Shampoo bar, conditioner bar, body bar, face bar... This process includes a close communication with our bar producers, it also involves a holistic understanding of syndet production: from the mould making process to press production lines.
That’s how the Foamie team achieved such innovative shapes. I also design additional assets to the brand, such as the Travel Buddy. This recycled polycabonate / silicon assembly allows the Foamie bar users to easily travel.

FOUNDER / INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER OTEK bicycles Nov 2017 - Jun 2019 Berlin, Germany
OTEK bicycles is a bicycle accessory startup founded in the heart of Berlin. I aim to design smart products for urban riders. I am focused on function, simplicity and aesthetic. The aim is to make your bike more useful and your riding experience easier without compromising the style of your bicycle. The first accessory I developed is the AEROCARRIER, this unique rear carrier / bicycle rack mounts onto the seat post and seat stays of the bicycle. Once installed, the user is free to use its 3 liters locking trunk compartment. It is compatible with any pannier, holds up to 25kg. An elastic strap can also be used to fix a backpack, shopping bag or other. This clever product brings to its user various useful features that considerably improves the riding experience. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1572904469/aerocarrier
