prototypes and manufacturing
i am experienced in mechanical design, CNC and manufacturing managment as well as rapid prototyping.
i offer support throughout the entire prototyping process – from the very first prototype all the way to a production-ready state.
secondly i offer support for your workshop. from integrating new machines into the processes to writing documentation for QM.
and i'm also up to clear the backlog projects and finally tackle those ideas that never seem to get started.

MOSAIK - beatboxer.berlin
together with my partners for software, electronics and UX/UI i develop, build and sell MOSAIK – a standalone instrument with a big touch-screen in a robust full-aluminium enclosure.
it combines sampling, step-sequencing, live jamming, looping, DJing and mixing – a complete setup without a computer (dawless), built for the stage.
i take full responsibility for the mechanical part and the communication with business partner and artists.
tempesta guitars
in 2009 i worked together with an master luthier on a process to produce electric guitars in small batch series. i learned a lot about making and designing these instruments and i used the skills i Iearned as an apprentice in the engineering industry.
after moving to berlin and working for another employer in the industry i started to make guitars again with my co-worker.
while visitig school again, tempesta guitars was born in 2016 and i finally could realize my own designs and ideas to create electric guitars in small batches but customized to fit my clients requirements.
