With a background of art therapy and conceptual design, the public-spirited, critical perspective underlines the development, observation for a design, which focuses on design research, design thinking and design processes and is perceived as a route from preparation, composition till reflection.

The presented design interpretations in fields of space, material, object and the wide world of the image are sorted in:

Illustrative: understood as the visualized perceptions (a given picture)
Research: understood as the explorative display (a based conclusion)

Dig in and enjoy!
