Hello.

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

With a background as a Design Assistant, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Integrated Design and a Master's in Design Studies. My independent work in communication design and photography reflects a thoughtful balance between theory and hands-on practice.

Driven by curiosity about how the world works—and how it might be reimagined—I use design as a tool to explore and shape new possibilities. My approach blends analytical thinking with creative intuition, navigating the intersections of human behavior, environmental context, and design. I strive to merge order with chaos, and function with feeling, bridging the gap between digital and physical experiences.
