ABOUT ME

Hi there!

I am Sophia Ludwig, a product designer based in Berlin, currently writing my Bachelor thesis on design and ornaments.

My passion lies in design, sports, architecture, crafts and japanese language and culture.

I design with a focus on sustainability and circular economy through smart decision-making and use of technology like CAD and Lasercutting. I aim to create inspiring, colourful and clever products.
