What Have You Recently Discovered for Yourself?

Podcasts on the Train - It might sound mundane, but I used to lean towards reading a book or working. Lately, I've been tuning into podcasts, especially multi-part documentaries that you can really dive into. The advantage is not only do you learn a lot, but you can also gaze into the distance and watch the landscape pass by.

How Do You Stay Up to Date?

With my iPhone. While brushing my teeth, I scroll through the Tagesspiegel Checkpoint for the first time (the health implications of that are another story...) and the most important news pops up via push notifications on my home screen. More news, inspiration, delicious recipes, and the latest animal videos come from Instagram.

Who Would You Want to Swap with for a Day?

With my dog Bruno. Eating, playdates, snacks, petting sessions, a bit of "work," then sleeping again, and most importantly: no FOMO - how awesome is that?!

What Is Your Favorite Building and Why?

During my interior design internship a few years ago, I developed a fondness for exposed concrete buildings that has stuck with me ever since. It all started with the Conference Pavilion by Tadao Ando on the Vitra Campus - today, one of my favorite buildings is the Chipperfield Canteen in Berlin-Mitte. I'm fascinated by how the exposed concrete facade stands in splendid contrast to the surrounding neighborhood. Nestled among Wilhelminian style houses and Eastern block buildings, it offers a stylish retreat from the hustle and bustle of Berlin.
