The research of Jens Krzywinski and his team is at the intersection of engineering design and industrial design, focusing on user experience and industrial products. Our approach to designing complex products is both creative and systematic. Research in design context forms a basement of a deeper understanding of the design process. Design inclusive research fosters interdisciplinary research by using design tools and methods while practice-based design research applies our knowledge in different industrial branches. Based on the users’ experiencing as well as needs of all stakeholders, enterprise and market we conduct research and development of products, systems and services that are technologically, ergonomically and aesthetically convincing in the professional scenarios of tomorrow and beyond.
