Wacom Cintiq Pro 24"/32" with Studio Engine & ErgoStand

CintiqPro is the flagship product of Wacoms famous pen & touch displays for professional creatives. To further enhance the already best pen experience I designed a modular system around the two large 4k displays with an exchangable Xeon-Workstation and various stand solutions to match the different needs of professional users and finally turn the CintiqPro into a powerful all-in-one computer.

Wacom ProPen 2 family

After the design of the successful first ProPen I created a family of various digtal styli for professional creatives with different pen diameters and button arrangements for individual preferences of the users. All of these can be used on every Wacom display or opaque tablet. Carefully choosen materials and finishes give the ProPens a premium appearance. With its ergonomic flare shape the ProPen became the iconic design for the best in class digital pen experience.

m°pad concept

In 2010 I started researching on how artists might create digital content in the future looking at the needs of designers of various disciplines. Inspired by the just launched first iPad my idea was a tablet PC with the pen as the main input device. After successful testing the prototype the course had been set towards the innovative Cintiq Companion, Wacoms first tablet PC.

Saab ecoX expandable car concept

Looking closer to opportunities for more sustainable mobility one finding was, that the trunk in private cars is not used the most time. The ideation lead to a car which is compact with plenty of space by extending the trunk space when needed and collapsing there after saves length but more over also weight by using lightweight fabric in the expandable area like roofs of convertible cars.
The project has been supported by the RWTH Aachen, which calculated the energy saving opportunity on such a concept.

The study also has been focussing on complex surface modelling in Alias Automotive partly to class A standards.
