career
After completing my studies, I founded Pazls GmbH together with two school friends. We invented the magnetic furniture connector "Pazls Snap" and patented it throughout Europe. Our modular furniture designs have won the German Design Award & German Innovation Award, among others, and can be individually assembled without tools in the Lego concept and modified again and again. Thanks to the 3D configurator, the products could be designed and viewed easily. We presented our company in the German version of Shark Tank on VOX and achieved a 7-digit B2C turnover.
studies
After graduating from high school (intensified courses: physics, economics & law) I first studied civil engineering (B.Eng.) at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. During this time I was also a tutor for structural engineering and spent 6 months in Abu Dhabi during my practical semester. I completed my master’s degree at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences in the subject of industrial engineering and construction technology/management (M.Sc.) in order to place myself at the interface between technology and business. Out of my own interest, I attended several modules of the master's degree in product development at Pforzheim University as a guest student during my studies.
about me
According to the well-known personality test "16Personalities", I am classified as a logician:
"For logicians there is nothing worse than being ordinary. Logicians pride themselves on their inventiveness and creativity. Logicians are not interested in practical, everyday activities and routine actions. However, when they find an environment where they can express their creative genius and potential, they will unreservedly devote time and energy to developing informed and innovative solutions."

product development
As an engineer, I can easily imagine technical products and put them into practice. The "Pazls Snap" furniture connector, which I invented and developed for series production, shows this as an example. From the first handwritten sketches to prototypes from the 3D printer to the production-ready injection-molded workpiece, I managed the entire process on my own responsibility.

product visualization
"A picture says more than 1000 words."
So that the advantages of a product can be explained to users quickly and easily, high-quality visualizations are required. For this I have self-taught the software Keyshot, with which I can create high-quality animations. The 3D model is constructed either with OnShape or with SketchUp, depending on the level of detail required.
intellectual property
When I had the idea for a magnetic furniture connector during my studies, I quickly realized that the mechanism could be patented. That's why I initiated and accompanied the process together with a renowned patent law firm. My learning curve here was extremely steep and with the final certification of several European patents I have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the protectability of an idea.

software and tools
In addition to classic software such as Microsoft Office and all relevant MacOS programs, I use the 3D software SketchUp, OnShape and Keyshot in particular for the development and visualization of new products. With the modular app system SmapOne, complex processes can be ideally mapped and monitored. Notion helps me with my daily organization as well as with customer and stakeholder management.
design awards
I have won several awards for my magnetic furniture connector and the modular furniture systems, including the German Design Award and the German Innovation Award.
"Pazls is an ingenious connection system that revolutionizes the assembly and disassembly of furniture"

customer service (4,95/5)
As the founder of my own startup Pazls, I was not only responsible for product development, but also for communication with all partner companies and especially with our end customers. In doing so, I learned how to deal with the wishes and problems of users and was able to draw valuable conclusions for future product design.
TV appearances
I have already been a guest on these German TV stations and TV shows and have presented myself and my products. Because of this experience, I can efficiently prepare extensive product presentations and present them convincingly.
