Hi
I‘m Jakob Kohnle, a product designer looking to create optimal solutions on both a technical and aesthetic level.
I was always interested in how things look and work, combined with a passion for solving problems, which led me to become a product designer. I really enjoy creating solutions that combine aesthetics and practicality in a unified way, and if that includes a clever mechanism, even better.
