My resumé
My professional focus lies in the field of textile architecture, particularly in the design and realization of lightweight, large-span surface structures. Within this domain, I concentrate on the planning and implementation of small to medium-scale tensile systems, which offer a high potential for architectural expression, material efficiency, and ecological impact.
My work integrates architectural design, form finding, preliminary and structural analysis, detail development, and technical coordination across all project phases—from conceptualization to execution. Core areas of activity include design consulting, visual communication, and site supervision, always with an interdisciplinary and solution-oriented approach.
