This process includes production techniques, materials, logistics and of course the human as its final user. His design unites the intersections of social, technical and ecological issues, therefore the packaging design was always a logic part of his product development.

I live with my wife and our two children in Sulz. A small village near Winterthur in Switzerland. Currently i am employed as a packaging designer at Model AG.

My career began with an apprenticeship as a packaging technologist. I spent most of my time learning how to produce packaging. After six years of working at a production machine, I was given the opportunity to switch to the design department. That was almost 18 years ago. Since then i have been designing packaging made of solid and corrugated cardboard for a wide variety of consumer goods and well-known brands such as Lindt, Nespresso, Wrigley's, Mars and many more.

My work is exclusively related to the structural design and the technical aspects of the packaging. therefore, I always try to combine the customer's demands for the shape of the packaging with the production needs and the technical requirements regarding the supply chain in the simplest way possible.

Architect by training, he works in packaging design for more than 18 years. His experience on the whole cycle from the making to the use of packaging provides an perfect basis for mature solutions.

In his position as consultant and special projects designer at Model Germany, his work combines creativity and practicality. Questioning und challenging the whole way we see packaging is his fundamental approach. The focus is on highlighting the product and a smooth user experience. Take for granted functional and economic aspects.

Our natural environment and other fields of technology inspire his work. Clarity and simplicity with a great love for the details characterizes the best results.
