Connecting knowledge and design is my driving force — because learning should be joyful, and education fosters an open, compassionate society. My goal is to make this very joy of knowledge visible through design.

Rewire to Wonder: Understanding Blocks to Regain Creativity
Blockaden verstehen, Kreativität zurückerobern.
Working creatively under time pressure is challenging. There are days when nothing seems to work: ideas dry up, focus wanes, and deadlines draw ever closer. In those moments, I often found myself wondering, “Am I simply not creative enough?”Perhaps you’ve experienced this too - creative blocks are incredibly common. My workbook is designed for creatives. It combines practical exercises with visually appealing neuroscience-based insights into creativity and creative blocks. The aim is to shed light on what happens in the brain when inspiration strikes – or fails to. Why does the process flow some days and stall on others? What exactly is inspiration? And how do hormones, stress, and self-doubt affect your creative process? I want creatives — often undervalued by society — to understand the cognitive achievements their brains accomplish when grappling with ideas. Because from a neuroscientific perspective, one thing is clear: creativity is a remarkable feat of the mind.
