Summary

Technical problems attract my interest, therefore I see product service systems design as my profession. In my opinion products don’t function as single objects anymore, but rather stand in a close relation to a large web of items, applications and occasions of use. I see my future as a Product Service Systems Designer, because products are no longer just functional objects but part of an extensive system of many interacting products, services and applications.
