About





Cargo Cage2606_MO_CargoCage
These cargo cages started from a simple frustration on bikepacking trips: cramming everything into bags front and back makes for a bulky, unbalanced setup. My idea was to design custom mounts instead — small cages that let dry bags, bottles, and other camping gear sit directly on the bike, distributed evenly across fork and frame.

So I designed and built my own. Lightweight, laser cut from 2mm sheet metal, in black anodized aluminium or stainless steel, they mount wherever your bike already has bottle bosses.

The cages ship flat pack and are bent into shape by hand — a small detail, but one that keeps them simple to produce, easy to ship, and honest about how they're made.

TBD 162605_DADA_TBD16
 Full CGI product photography for the TBD-16, a standalone open-source groovebox by Berlin-based dadamachines.

The goal was to treat the device with precise lighting, material accuracy, and compositions that let the industrial design speak for itself.

The TBD-16 itself is a compact, palm-sized instrument (110 x 110 x 25mm) running on three parallel processors for real-time audio, UI/sequencing, and connectivity. With 16 tracks, multiple sound engines, and a fully hackable open-source platform underneath.

Google Pixel 11 Pro

2604_KH_GooglePixel
Product imagery of the Google Pixel 11 Pro across its full range of color variants, created with Kühl & Han for the Google Store.

Following our work on the Pixel Watch 3, this second collaboration with Kühl & Han focused on precision and consistency: each finish rendered with accurate material and color across a unified lighting and camera setup, so the variants read as one coherent family.

The final images are live on the Google Store, where they serve as the primary visuals for choosing a device color.

Time Flies

2603_MB_Lufthansa
 Created for Mercedes-Benz to celebrate 100 years of Lufthansa, Time Flies was presented across digital installations at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), reaching thousands of travelers throughout the campaign.

I was responsible for the 3D animation and production of the project, bringing the visual narrative to life across the campaign’s large-format displays.

Open Profile

2601_MO_OpenProfile
Open Profile is a modular, wall-mounted storage system built around standardized aluminum profiles and 3D-printed accessories. A fixed extrusion acts as the structural backbone, while interchangeable hooks and attachments allow the system to adapt to different uses, from entryway storage to kitchen or workspace organization. All components are designed with FDM additive manufacturing in mind and can be produced locally. Conceived as an open design, Open Profile encourages customization, extension, and long-term use through shared print files.

Titanium Collection

2509_AKILA_Titanium
 Campaign film for Akila’s Titanium Collection, marking our fourth collaboration.
The project focuses on highlighting the precision of the pieces and the distinctive character of the titanium, using a restrained visual language and controlled motion.
Developed through a complete process spanning art direction, 3D and post-production.

Sixfold

2501_MO_Sixfold Sixfold is a lighting series made from off-the-shelf materials and 3D-printed parts, developed to enable low-cost, local, and on-demand production.
Available in standing, wall-mounted, and hanging versions, each lamp is built around a frame of aluminium rods and translucent polypropylene sheets, paired with a standard E14 socket.

By combining accessible materials with digital fabrication, Sixfold offers a flexible and scalable approach to contemporary lighting and small-scale production.
