I’m a Creative Technologist, Interaction Designer and Educator from Hamburg, Germany. Recently exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Design. I’m a contributor for the the ml5.js JavaScript library. Which offers an open approach to Machine Learning for everyone. I create and code webpages, apps and other digital products. I’m specialised in Conversational User Interfaces, like Alexa or the Google Assistant. I worked with Spark-AR to create Augmented Reality experiences for Instagram. My skills include all the common creative tools like the Creative Cloud, Blender or Final Cut, but also coding skills in JavaScript (Vue.js, node.js), Python and other web-development areas. I worked and hacked with Arduinos and Raspberry Pi in the past. Find me on GitHub here.
I did my Bachelor and Masters degree at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg. The subject of my Bachelor thesis was »Digital Detox, addicted by Design?« The full thesis can be found here (german only). In my master thesis I focused on the AI & Design. The title of the thesis was »Automated Design – How can Designers remain in control?« The project that resulted out of the thesis ist »Not Made by Robots«, a platform for designers and other creatives to get started in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
