Hi there!
Hi, I’m Sophia Ludwig, a product designer living in and between Berlin and Zurich, and a recent graduate of the Berlin University of the Arts.
My approach is curious, structured and hands-on, without being limited to one way of working. Staying open to new influences and learning things deeply enough to eventually master them is one of my main motivations. Another lies in making quick prototypes with whatever materials are available, obsessing over tiny construction details, or crouching somewhere to figure out how a hinge, connector or weird part actually works.
I’m interested in how design decisions can make an object more desirable, functional and manufacturable.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
