🚜 What if the Unimog had stayed in the commons?
Born post-WWII to serve many, built to last, the Unimog met global demand — and then its creators went bankrupt. Not from failure, but from success.

They sold to Daimler. The rest is planned obsolescence.

What if they had released the IP instead?

Climate Change Collection

'Endangered Mosses' -

When ancient life forms disappear
My design is dedicated to the
often overlooked pioneers of life: mosses, which have colonised our
earth for millions of years, are fighting for their survival today.
Where deforestation
destroys their shady refuges and climate change throws their fragile
ecosystem out of balance.

Climate Change Collection

Der Klimawandel zerstört durch steigende Temperaturen und veränderte Niederschläge die empfindlichen Lebensräume der Schmetterlinge und bringt ihre Entwicklungszyklen aus dem Gleichgewicht, was ihr Überleben massiv bedroht.
Hier einige der zusehenden Schmetterlinge in diesem Design:
Urania Sloanus
Egargyreus Zestos
Pieres Brassicae
Urania Sloanus
Colias Myrmidone etc.

⚡⚡ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ⚡⚡

My dear network,

As I’m about to finish my PhD, I’ll be looking for new employment starting in 2025!

I work as a UX/UI designer, with my focus primarily on creating interfaces for electronic music / multimedia arts, and more broadly, interactive devices.

Throughout my 10+ year career, I’ve collaborated with artists, foundations, and companies, contributing to a variety of creative and technical endeavors. I also have extensive experience writing funding applications, successfully securing resources for multiple projects both independently and as part of a team.

I specialize in both designing and constructing electronic devices, as well as developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) tailored to specific needs. With a strong background in digital fabrication, I operate my own fabrication lab and have previously served as a lab manager in FabLabs, overseeing a wide range of projects.

In recent years, after a decade of working as a designer, I have broadened my practice to include academic research.

My recent research efforts have primarily explored critical reflection and sustainable action within design practices. I have investigated open-source tools and methods to develop interfaces in the form of both tangible devices and GUIs. The aim of these explorations is to push the boundaries of current practices, finding innovative solutions that enhance the full potential of each design project while considering its long-term impact.
I engage in hands-on design projects and studies with people and communities

As my focus has shifted to academia in the past few years, and I would love to continue pursuing this path. However, I am open to any employment opportunity that can benefit from my skills and expertise.

I am currently based in Parma (northeast Italy), but I am happy to relocate for the right opportunity.

If your organization has an opening that resonates with my skills, or if you come across an announcement that might be a good fit, please let me know!

Here is a link to my website, where you can find more details about my work:

Long overdue #introduction,

I’m a #structuralengineer and a #software developer. I tried to do both for 5+ years with an emphasis on #structural before deciding it would be a lot better for my career and happiness to focus on the #software.

I’m currently working as a #fullstackengineer. I also do contract work related to #sustainabledesign #embodiedcarbon #sustainability

The European Commission is working to promote eco-design and extend the repairability score to the whole of Europe.
It is crucial that the availability of spare parts is also extended to the general public.
