Hey there!

I’m an industrial designer from Germany with several years of experience working in international consultancies, in-house design teams and as a freelancer. While my core discipline is industrial design, I approach challenges holistically – considering not just the product itself, but also the user, the brand, business objectives and the strategic context. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of organizations – from global market leaders and B2B niche players to start-ups and NGOs. Many of the projects I’ve contributed to have received international recognition, including Red Dot, iF, and Core77 Design Awards.

I have a strong passion for design sketching and that shines through on my design sketchblog on Instagram, as an online educator in my online video course and in sketching workshops I led at several international universities. My goal as a designer is to work across the disciplines – to use my skills to drive positive change – to be conscious about my footprint and the impact of my work and to design products as well as experiences that serve a purpose and make people smile.

Sounds interesting? I am always happy to make new connections – feel free to reach out via mail(at)mariuskindler.com
