As an academic assistant at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, I fostered a learning environment where design thinking, material experimentation, and problemsolving converged. By guiding students through complex projects, I encouraged both conceptual depth and practical execution.

Beyond teaching, I streamlined academic processes, coordinated workshops and lectures, and facilitated crossdisciplinary collaboration. Acting as a key link between students, faculty, and administration, I ensured clarity, efficiency, and a dynamic exchange of ideas. My work balanced structure with creative freedom, enabling meaningful design outcomes and cultivating a mindset of adaptability and innovation.

At Patricia Urquiola Studio, I was immersed in a dynamic, hands-on design process where experimentation and material sensitivity shaped each project. I contributed to furniture and product development, translating conceptual ideas into refined, manufacturable pieces. Working closely with suppliers and artisans, I helped bridge the gap between vision and production, ensuring that each design retained its integrity while meeting real-world constraints. This experience deepened my understanding of craftsmanship, industry standards, and the nuances of brand collaboration.

Working in a metal workshop taught me to approach design with a deep respect for materials and craftsmanship. Every project required precision, adaptability, and an understanding of how to manipulate form and structure. From raw metal to finished pieces, I learned to translate creative vision into tangible, lasting objects. Being involved in on-site installations reinforced the importance of accuracy and problem-solving under real-world conditions, shaping my ability to think ahead and execute with confidence.

Learning traditional woodworking was an exercise in patience, skill, and attention to detail. Each piece was a balance of structure and aesthetics, requiring an understanding of materials and techniques to ensure longevity and function. From workshop to construction site, I adapted to different challenges, refining both my technical and problem-solving abilities. This experience instilled a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship behind well-made objects and the discipline required to create them.
