Strategic Designer
Hi! I'm Markus, a Strategic Designer, tackling systemic challenges like emerging technologies and urbanization.
Currently I'm part of FREE NOW's research and design team move Lab in Berlin. Previously I worked for the mobility company moovel in Stuttgart, the design studio Domestic Data Streamers in Barcelona, and as a freelancer with the TheGreenEyl and the DesignFarm Berlin. Before that I studied Communication and Product Design in Berlin, Santiago de Chile, and Valencia.
I also take journalistic photos, collect and create information resources, travel, and explore public life.
