About Me

Hi, I’m Stefan, a multidisciplinary design engineer and creative technologist completing a dual master’s degree in Industrial Design and Innovation Management, with a technical foundation in Chemical Engineering and a creative background in music production.

I work at the intersection of design, engineering and innovation. My projects often combine physical prototyping, digital systems, sensors, actuators and user research to explore how emerging technologies can become tangible, useful and meaningful products.

am a firm believer in making, not just consuming. Building helps you “make up your own mind”: forming new perspectives through testing, feeling and doing instead of only inheriting ideas from others.

My background in Chemical Engineering taught me to think in systems, constraints, testing and feasibility. Industrial Design added a human-centered and hands-on way of working, while Innovation Management helps me connect early concepts to business context, implementation and value.

Ultimately, I want to align creativity, engineering and functionality to design products that address real user needs, tell meaningful stories and contribute to how we live with technology in an increasingly digital world.
