Our Team

Hi, this is us!

We are a collective of design enthusiasts. Working with us is soothing and challenging at the same time. With empathy and sensibility we ask the right questions at the right time, appreciating transparent communication and brave collaborations.
We love to exchange, going into smallest details with mechanical engineers or discuss the relevance of AI over a drink.
