Projects
I am a designer and thinker, with the passion to innovate.
Hi, I am Kilian Frieling. With a passion for the medical field and a commitment to sustainability, I have dedicated my career to crafting solutions that make a difference. At the core of my work lies the belief that design can be a powerful force for positive change, especially in the realm of Medical Design.
My Attitude
Social Impact
My work goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating positive social impact. I conduct extensive research to understand the broader implications of my designs, ensuring they benefit not only the individual user but society as a whole. Through my projects, I aim to foster social change and enhance our collective well-being.
Human Centered
My passion forresearch in Human- Centeredness is the driving force behind my work. I firmly believe that putting people at the heart of design and innovation processes is not only essential but transformative. This belief has fueled my commitment to exploring, understanding, and advocating for the principles of Human- Centered Design. During my Master, I learned to approach tasks methodically and conducted user centered research interviews with both users and experts. I thoroughly enjoyed this process.
Attention to Detail
In the world of design, it’s the details that set great work apart. I take pride in my obsession with every intricacy, ensuring that each element is thoughtfully considered and seamlessly integrated into the final product. It’s this commitment to detail that ensures the functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability of my designs.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle in everything I create. I firmly believe that design should leave a minimal environmental footprint. Through meticulous research and a dedication to eco-friendly materials and processes, I strive to design products and spaces that contribute to a cleaner, greener future.
Craft and Making
As a maker at heart, I approach each project with the mindset of a true craftsman. Whether I’m working on industrial solutions, medical devices, or building design, I apply a level of care and expertise that is second to none. Craftsmanship is the backbone of all my creations.
User Centric
In every design project, the user is at stake. I am passionate about user centered design – both in 3D tangible objects as well as corresponding interfaces. My methods stem from the most the most demanding field in design: medical design. After in depth cultural and social research, my methods include Personas, creativity techniques, task analysis. Finally the prototype is always core of experiment action with future users.
Hybrid Prototyping
I love to make things. As a trained craftsman, I can build spatial interfaces, furniture but also smaller objects using 3D Printing, Milling and Arduino. My workflows include the most efficient and experiment all path towards a prototype. Connecting digital and analogue, my projects are essentially hybrid. I have used these skills to develop workflows for workshops at Design Schools and in other educational fields.
