Denis Schmitz | Designer + Developer

Lightness. Openness. Courageousness.

Attributes connected with a feather...and driver for outstanding technical solutions.

Engineering must be based on facts, but needs inspiration and out-of-the-box thinking at the same time. Common sense and analytical layout are essential development tools and so should be basis for following-up computer-based engineering.

Being attracted by field of mobilty since my childhood, I trained and worked as car mechanic for almost three years after school and before starting my studies in automotive engineering.

Repairing, touching and seeing components...understanding and/or questioning their design...this is something which has inspired me until today and in combination with my development skills - gained thanks to university, internships and multiple seasons of Formula Student - enables me to create structural components in a goal-oriented way.

Being passionate about vehicles, I am reflecting how we as human beings are supposed to be moved in future...

It is on us, to make sure the technologies we apply, take care of ecological as well as on social aspects by the way they are sourced.

Furthermore, the design we realize, goes along with need of material quantity, consumed energy during manufacturing and operation, repair concept and end-of-life disassembly plus recyclability. 

Thus key is to work on mobility solutions respecting environment and at same time realizing a unique driving / riding experience.

From road and rail vehicles to bicycles - tomorrow`s mobility needs to be explored.

I am supporting you to be part of that journey.
