Field Notes

A visual notebook — moments, events and the work in between.

Talks, workshops, offsites and small traces of work in progress. More entries will land here as I dig through the archive.

Dreiländerhack — Vienna

A three-country hackathon where SBB, ÖBB and DB meet to tackle innovation and mobility challenges in mixed teams. Our group designed a mobility app for people with cognitive disabilities — and walked out with the #MostSustainable award.

Interaction 23 — Zürich

I joined IxDA's Interaction 23 as a volunteer and as a representative of SBB — Swiss Federal Railways. A few days of on-site help, hallway conversations and quietly good talks.
