What I'm looking for

I seek a product-development or R&D role in a collaborative company focusing on functional textiles, sustainable design, hands-on prototyping, and cross-disciplinary growth.

I am a product developer and technical-textiles specialist with a Master's in Bekleidungsmanagement and a Bachelor in Bekleidungstechnik, experienced in prototyping, material research, and product development for functional and sustainable apparel. I have worked across industry and academic settings—conducting market and trend analyses, developing prototypes and collections, documenting lab materials, and delivering store and smart-textile concepts.

I bring strong research, documentation, and presentation skills from roles as a scientific assistant, freelance editor/author, and industry practitioner; I am comfortable coordinating supplier research, technical data sheets, CAD/3D modelling, and cross-functional development to bring concepts to production-ready samples.
