I started as an intern and later on worked as a full-time apparel product developer for On AG in Zürich.

I actively participated in product cycles, overseeing processes from ideation, digital design, testing, sampling, and production to presentation and product launch.

During this period, I realized my passion for digital design, feeling at ease with it and being a fast learner with new digital tools. However, I must admit, I still hold a deep affection for physical product design and engage in it whenever the opportunity occured.
