Product Design / Social Design / Design Research

Matthias Albold (*1986 in Erfurt, Germany) is currently living in Hamburg, Germany. I was involved in the communication between people at an early age and thus developed a fascination that led me from the education of people, the forms of fine art to the design of communication interfaces.

Today I am mainly concerned with researching people in their environments and what findings are of interest for product development and how these in turn affect people in society.
