CV & professional experience
"If you asked me about my way of thinking and acting, I would describe myself as a designer."
​
Design Thinking - internalized through study and practice and, if possible, applied in my tasks and in teamwork
Team players - I develop my full potential together and in exchange with others
Structure and methodology - I attach great importance to both and think they are helpful
Storytelling - I would like to apply it more intensively in my tasks and make use of it
Curious & unbiased - I claim to be and find it extremely helpful
"I acquire and/or deepen what I need to master the task before me."

Sketching & Scribbling - I'd love to do more of that again
SolidWorks - current software for furniture applications
SketchUp - Little used in recent times but highly valued
Hands-on model/furniture making - is welcome to play a larger role again
Visualization/Rendering - most recently in contact with it in an advisory capacity, currently interested in Blender
