Knowledge Sharing in Textile Architecture

As an expert in textile architecture, I actively share my knowledge and practical experience through various channels:

  • I regularly provide in-house training for new employees, focusing on the specific characteristics and applications of technical textiles.

  • On the company’s internal communication platform, I publish posts about ongoing projects, trade fairs, and special technical topics.

  • I frequently attend specialist conferences and events related to textile construction to stay up to date and engage in professional discourse.

  • I give expert lectures at industry events, universities, and universities of applied sciences.

  • In workshops, I support discussions and help actively develop project ideas.

I am passionate about promoting a deeper understanding of textile architecture and demonstrating how this lightweight and versatile construction method can be applied meaningfully and efficiently.

Sketching as a Daily Practice

While I enjoy working with oil paints, tempera, acrylics, oil pastels, colored pencils, and markers, the most essential form of analogue representation for me is sketching with pencil and ink.

Whether it’s technical details, schematic diagrams, or concept and design sketches – sketching is at the core of my creative and analytical process. I use it daily to capture ideas, solve problems, take visual notes, and communicate thoughts clearly to others. Before any digital visualization, CAD drawing, or structural model is created, there is usually a hand-drawn sketch.

Sketching is more than a tool – it is memory, process, and means of communication all in one. I sketch not only as part of my professional work, but also for personal reflection and exploration.

Creative Contribution to the Local Children's Carnival

To support the local children's carnival, I contributed two artistic elements to create a joyful and immersive atmosphere:
– For the children's parade, I designed and painted a large illuminated carnival lantern.
– For the children's masquerade ball, I created six bold and colorful decorative paintings, each measuring 1.6 × 1.6 m.
The works were intentionally expressive and child-friendly, combining playful imagery with spatial impact. This voluntary project allowed me to explore the relationship between art, space, and community in a hands-on, festive context.
