Hello!
I'm Heinrich.
I am a 28-year-old industrial designer from Austria, and in 2024 I graduated from the Master's programme in Advanced Product Design in Umeå, Sweden. I am currently working for Agile Robots in Munich.
I thrive when I can design impactful, high-quality product solutions in an interdisciplinary team of creative thinkers. Combining functional sophistication with clear, focused aesthetics while keeping real-world requirements in mind is where I can add the most value. I am particularly interested in contributing and learning in the fields of robotics, prosthetics, micromobility or medical devices.
Apart from design, I am an enthusiastic photographer, I love to tinker with my 3D printer and CNC router, and I enjoy trying to build electrically powered contraptions. I love the outdoors and any activity where I can immerse myself in nature.
