Since 1999 the company has been working for well-known brands at home and abroad, including Braun, Sedus, Procter & Gamble, Deutsche Bahn, Fresenius, BSH, Schneider Schreibgeräte, Lufthansa, Villeroy & Boch and many more.

Born in Mainz, Karsten completed an apprenticeship in foundry molding with MAN and then studied Industrial Design at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. As part of his course, he worked at Neumeister Design in Munich on the design development of the ICE.
