Even the fast-moving air taxi industry is eager to benefit from the expertise of the gliding community.“Vertical takeoff” doesn’t just describe a flying machine lifting straight into the sky. It’s also a phrase for any career—or breakthrough—that takes off steeply ...

At the same time, the environmental footprint of these structures is improving.Balcony slabs are usually made from reinforced concrete. On average, a typical slab measures two by five meters and is 30 centimeters thick, tipping the scales at around 7.5 metric tons—about as much as a small delivery truck. The supporting framework needs to ...

Make optimism great again: Why I created Futureshaper

I spent my youth in the 1990s in Berlin—a city uniquely shaped by the optimism and momentum sparked by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Around the world, a powerful sense of moving towards a brighter future was palpable. The formation of the European Union, the end of apartheid, increasing international cooperation, and the incredible opportunities brought about by global connectivity and internet-driven access to knowledge defined this era. The "United Federation of Planets" from Star Trek felt to me ...

No mission yet

I design with purpose—to support systems and products that contribute to a fairer, more sustainable future. My work focuses on creating digital tools that promote equity, inclusion, and environmental responsibility. Whether it’s building trust in civic platforms, enabling community-led innovation, or shaping interfaces that empower participation—I believe good design can strengthen democracy, resilience, and connection. I see design as a quiet but powerful force for systemic change—especially when it’s created together, with care and intention.
