Product Sustainability &

Design Sparring Partner

less future, more now

Today, design is increasingly shaped not only by function and aesthetics, but also by data, systems, and regulatory frameworks such as the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

Alongside my design practice, I collaborate with companies through research and strategic exchange. I explore how requirements like durability, repairability, and traceability influence design processes and decisions. I am particularly interested in translating complex requirements into clear and actionable design strategies.

My goal is to move from reflection into practice—both through

designing products and supporting companies as a sparring partner in navigating these transitions.
