Design and Innovation Consultant · Helping mobility and product companies build world-class design organizations from scratch

I help mobility startups, product companies, and design-led organizations build the design capabilities they need to compete — from scratch if necessary. Over the past 20 years, I've done this at scale: built TOGG's entire design organization from zero (25-person team, two international studios, €8M annual budget), led end-to-end EV programs from concept to production, and delivered design consultancy to 40+ clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. What I bring that's rare: I think like an engineer, lead like a design executive, and build like a founder. If you're a company that needs senior design leadership — but isn't ready for a full-time hire — let's talk.
