I am a trained photographer and designer. My product design combines passion, aesthetics and my love of animals — it inspires many of my projects and shapes my creative approach.

Für Katzen. Für Menschen. Für Räume mit Persönlichkeit.
My bachelor's project, a modular furniture system for cats, arose from my commitment to animal welfare and the desire to make the lives of domestic cats more varied and species-appropriate. The change in perspective to see cats not just as pets but as independent living beings with natural needs inspired me to take this approach. It became clear to me how important it is to combine functionality, aesthetics, and animal welfare. The system makes it possible to vary the elements flexibly and thus create new stimuli every day — this promotes the cat's activity and well-being and at the same time brings harmony to the living space. My project shows how design can sustainably improve the coexistence of humans and animals. It is aimed at animal lovers, designers, and anyone who wants to rethink animal husbandry. The modular plug-in system is particularly exciting, allowing for versatile design and interaction - a detail that invites you to take a closer look.
