I have been living in Leipzig since 2015, a fast-changing city that sharpens my interest in how architecture responds to vacancy, heritage, and social tension. My work focuses on existing structures and on how spatial interventions can support social understanding rather than simply stage preservation. With a background in cultural anthropology [Bachelor, Universität Leipzig] and hands-on experience in various building trades, I approach interior architecture [Bachelor, Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle] as a link between design, planning, and craft.

I am particularly interested in pragmatic, vernacular strategies and in repair as a design method—developing precise, adaptable interventions that reinterpret what is already there.
