Moin!*

I am Laurenz, an industrial designer from Germany, recently graduated from the Advanced Product Design Program at Umeå Institute of Design. Currently working as Industrial Designer at AFRY.
By leveraging my strength in empathy,
I strive to design products that empower users and make a real difference in their lives. I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool in communicating the purpose and value of design, and I enjoy infusing a touch of playfulness into my work.

*If you're ever wandering through the charming northern regions of Germany, don't be surprised if you're greeted with a cheerful "Moin!" This informal and versatile greeting derives from the Low German word "moi", which means "pleasant, good, beautiful" and can be used at any time of day.
