Our member of the month for February 2024 is engineer and industrial designer Theresa Werner. Since last year, she has been working as a product designer at Karl Storz in Berlin, where she is involved in developing innovative and user-centered medical technology solutions at the interface between design and technology.
Theresa completed her Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at Ruhr University Bochum. She then went on to complete her Master's degree in industrial engineering with a focus on medical technology in Berlin. After visiting an exhibition at HTW, she was inspired to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design in 2019 - again, with great success: Dia+, the inclusive therapy concept for children with type 1 diabetes, which she developed for her final thesis, won the UX Design Award | New Talent in 2023, among others.
