Hello.

I’m Michel, a designer* and photographer based in Leipzig. My work spans several different creative fields, all exploring the connections between objects, systems, and human behavior.

Trained as a Design Assistant, I hold a Bachelor's in Integrated Design and a Master's in Design Studies. I have worked independently in communication design and photography, balancing theory and practice.

I’m interested in how things in our world work and how they could change – using design as a tool to shape alternative possibilities. I blend theory and practice to explore human behaviour and the environment through design. My approach merges order and chaos, function and emotion, bridging the digital and physical realms.
