  • September 2013
    In September 2013 I started studying Industrial Design Engineering at the University of Twente. At this time the study's lingua franca was Dutch. I preferred the more technical approach of the University to the focus on styling of colleges (Fachhochschule) in Germany.
  • August 2013
    To apply to the University of Twente I had to pass a Dutch exam. After the successful completion of the four week course I obtained the NT2 certificate.

    One month internship at Bügener Gmbh as a voluntary preparation to my Industrial Design studies. I learned about metal processing machinery and designed and built several products.
  • February 2013
    I passed the entrance examination of the FH Aachen for the study Product Design (B.A.). The examination included a creative work test, the presentation of a portfolio and an oral examination. Although I finally didn't apply to the FH, the positive outcome of the examination confirmed that my choice for a design related study was right.
  • January 2013
    Two month internship at Tischlerei Schlang Gmbh as a preparation to the entrance examination at the FH Aachen. I learned about installing doors, windows, suspended ceilings and of course woodworking.
  • July 2012
    For 5 months I backpacked through ten different countries in Europe whilst hitchhiking 10.000 kilometers.
  • June 2012
    I passed the final secondary school examinations (Abitur) at the Gymnasium Korschenbroich with an average of 1,6. My focussed subjects were mathematics and physics.
  • September 2009
    I went to school at the “Lycée Anna Judic” near Dijon, France for one year. At this time I was 16. It was a life-changing experience since it enabled me to speak French fluently.
  • 1999 - 2009
    I grew up in Korschenbroich, a small city in Germany, near Düsseldorf. I went to Gymnasium Korschenbroich and graduated with the Abitur.
