Workshops originating from my Bachelor Thesis
At the "Experiments in Urbanism and Design" exhibition, I led workshops exploring innovative urban concepts.
A pop-up youth space invited children and teenagers to articulate their own needs and visions for urban environments.
The work was also presented at the 50th International Games Congress, where I shared findings and facilitated discussions.

Chain Reaction: A Workshop on Iterative Design
A workshop designed for students considering a degree in design. The chain reaction serves as a hands-on analogy for one of the core principles of the design process: building, testing, discarding, and starting again. Students experience iterative thinking not as a concept but as a physical, immediate challenge.
The workshop was conducted together with graphic designer Sven Hummel, who filmed the final chain reaction. The prospect of being recorded gave students a concrete motivation to ensure their construction ran seamlessly from start to finish.

Workshop at the Vitra Campus: "Chair for Someone's Garden"
A three-day workshop led by Martin Hailer and designer Tom Siegel, bringing together students from fashion, accessory, and industrial design. The brief: to design and physically model a chair within a condensed sprint format.
My role was to contribute an outside perspective to the feedback discussions, introducing fresh angles and challenging assumptions at key moments in the process.

Creative Workshop with Migrants, initiated by "Leerstand als Freiraum e.V."
A one-day workshop developed and facilitated together with the association and fellow design students. The session brought participants into active contact with migrants, using collage and model-making as tools to explore and express their relationship to the urban spaces we share.
