15 + years

I hold a Master's in Responsible AI Design and bring a grounded understanding of how AI systems function — from data and models to behavior, limits, and risk. I also have 3+ years of focused experience in accessibility, leading inclusive design for the first German app officially certified as fully BITV-accessible.

My practice combines mixed-methods research with creative, systems-level inquiry. I work across AI tools, sketchbooks, workshops, interviews, and diagrams to explore complexity, test assumptions, and turn insight into action — guided by curiosity and anchored in evidence.

I focus on system failure, risk propagation, and translating regulatory, ethical, and accessibility requirements into operational system behavior, shaping workflows, controls, interfaces, and decision points so digital systems act responsibly at scale.
