Stemming from the rather theoretical academic background of (bio)physics and philosophy, Design Thinking showed Benedikt Ewald a way of practically leveraging the impact of my analytical, synthetical and communicative skills in a highly creative and collaborative context. Benedikt experiences and shapes the power of creative teamwork from the perspectives of a practitioner, researcher and teacher on a daily basis. Fuelled by this, he is passionate about making our working environment more human-centered both on the giving and the receiving side. He strongly believes that only in an open and collaborative mode we as a society as well as individuals can unleash our full innovative potential to readily take on the multitude of political, societal and ecological challenges ahead.
