Über Valentin


Hi,

I'm a product designer with over 10 years of experience working in design agencies, as a freelancer, and running a boutique design studio. I specialize in designing consumer electronics and home appliances, particularly for the European and Asian markets.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with leading global brands and studios, gaining extensive experience in industrial design, project management, and team leadership. I have led design teams of up to seven people and managed complex development processes from concept to production.

I enjoy tackling complex challenges and have strong experience in face-to-face client interactions. I prepare stakeholder presentations and deliver them at all levels of leadership, ensuring clear communication and alignment throughout the design process.


Some brands I've worked with:

  • Haier
  • Samsung
  • Miele
  • Panasonic
  • Casarte
  • GE Home Appliances
  • Duravit
  • Philips
  • AOC
  • Porsche Design
  • Burmester

Most of the projects I worked on are under strict NDA and can't be shared openly online. If you are interested in learning more, I'm happy to provide detailed information privately.


I’m always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate on innovative projects. Let’s connect and create something great together!
