The concept of hybmix combines haptic and touch interaction in one single product. It results from the question how the traditional interface of mixing consoles could be adapted to modern technology in order to improve the user experience and to enable better interaction possibilities. Especially in a stressful live situation, most digital mixing consoles reveal their downsides in terms of information architecture as well as software and hardware ergonomics. Hybmix on the other hand provides a clear view of the essential functions and processes in the console at all times and enables the adjustment of the mixers setup and settings according to the context of use. With a large display as the basis, information and feedback can be changed dynamically and adapt to the situation.

Mesh Experience is an audio visualization that responds to guitar performances in real-time. According to the musical range of a guitar the visualization consists of 48 circles that each represent one tone by their position and color. When a note is played the respective circle will react and will move and grow according to the strength of attack. Depending on the tone’s velocity the circle will either leave a mark on the highest amplitude or just return to its origin.
As the guitarist moves, the visualization will follow his steps, connect nearby tones with one another and will become a colorful mesh over time, that represents not only the played music itself but also the guitarists dynamics and manner of performance.

As an ebook reader application for tablets, BookBox’s main focus is its library. It is divided into several book shelves that can be set up and adjusted by the user, for example new publications or books that were read recently. However, the main feature is the dynamic search, that enables the user to find multiple or just one specific book with just a few clicks. Therefore the application has multiple drop-down menus on top that can be used as filter categories. Depending on the filters that have already been enabled the remaining ones will adjust their content. This is also represented by the individual segments, whose height changes according to the amount of books they represent. Besides the purpose of simplifying the search process the dynamic search also makes typing needless, a handy advantage on mobile devices.

In early 2014, I had the pleasure to design the artwork for the album 'The Game' by the german band Stereodrama. Since this was their first LP it was important to create an overall design that would not only suit the album but would also communicate the band and their music in the near future. In the end, the new logo and artwork should be easily adaptable to other media so that I could use it for merchandising, stage banners and the new website.
Since their music is often described as 'alternative dance rock' I wanted to develop a visual language that would represent this kind of style, which is straightforward but with some roughness and finesse.

Larva is an application for tablets that brings VJing and the more advanced technique of projection mapping together. Especially in digital dance music, visual projections are becoming more and more popular and many tools make this kind of art form accessible to a broad audience. However, projection mapping requires a lot of experience, technical skill and in many cases additional tools. So we took on the challenge and illustrated a way, how one single app could tackle the whole process of mapping, setting up and visualizing, from the beginning to the very end.

In the semester I spent studying abroad in Wellington, New Zealand, I had the chance to get to know a different approach to design and to widen my skill set a little bit. The projects were pretty short, which was great to experience, since it was essential to generate ideas really quickly and realize them right away.
