Experience
I studied Digital Media in Bremen, Germany. In my first year of studies I earned a firm knowledge in Programming. Afterwards I had the possibility to create some design and art projects in which course I taught myself some Electronics and Mechanical Engineering skills.

Why
Originally I became interested in the field of tangible interaction out of the frustration of interacting with pixels behind the screen. The human body has a great variety of senses and not using them means leaving a great potential for great experience and better interaction untapped. I started exploring physical interactions with embodied data with an emphasis on the playful character of tangible interfaces.
As new part of the Tangible Media Group I see this class as the opportunity to collaborate with people from different backgrounds on my field of research. I am very curious to see the various perspectives from other other peoples and hope to create interesting synergies.
