Hi I'm Judith, a product and interaction designer based in Dresden, Germany. I grew up with a strong interest in my environment, everyday objects and how they function, the people around me and how they think, dress, and behave. Observing my surroundings taught me to see beauty in simple things. I'm especially drawn to how we experience physical objects — how we interact with them, perceive them, and relate to their materials. How are products made? What happens after they have served their purpose? Are they temporary or permanent? Can they grow? Do they inform, provoke, create identity, challenge norms, guide, empower or destroy?

My practice is shaped by applied research, hands-on prototyping, scientific experimentation, and guided by a sensuous, emotional approach.
