Typical Tasks
- Consulting, planning, development, design, testing and implementation of accessible products, packaging, buildings or events.
- Management, optimization and quality assurance of structures, products, established companies or startups.
- Disruptive innovations – with empathy and Design Thinking methods. For physical products, digital products or processes.
Innovations
- Inventor of colored Braille printing. I have already applied this in many books and other Braille publications. It also allows sighted people to read along and, above all, shows Braille confidently alongside regular print as a standard.
- Developer of the Canesitter. A design white cane holder, compact, durable, chic, sturdy, useful. Until now, broom holders were repurposed in museums and many other places. These also hold the white cane securely. But only the Canesitter is beautiful and color-adaptable.
- Inventor and developer of the first special children’s white cane. I led the development through to series production. The extra sustainable, lightweight and beautiful cane has since become the standard white cane for blind children aged 1 to 12.
- Inventor and developer of TellDing, the active auditory information and guidance system for museums and public buildings, as well as hotels and medical centers.
- Developer of the Persona-Advocate Method. A simple and quickly applicable principle that enables the sustainable installation of largely inclusive thinking and awareness for accessibility in companies and working groups.
