Interaction Designer and Researcher

I am a PhD candidate at TU Wien and a researcher at FH Oberösterreich where I combine interaction design, art, and HCI research under the umbrella of Odd Interactions.

In the past, I have been strongly involved in the field of smart textile interfaces which remains a big part of my work to this day.

Additionally, I (co-)organize many workshops on various topics focusing on co-creating technology with everyday users.
