How long have you been working for Dobas AG?  

I’ve been working at Dobas since December 2023.

Where did your professional journey take you prior to your current position?

After successfully completing my apprenticeship as a certified optician, I gained valuable experience as an assistant in ophthalmological clinics. Then I switched gears and went to business school. After that I finally made my dream come true: I began a professional qualification programme in interior design. The contacts I made during that time enabled me to achieve my career aspirations. It was ultimately Dobas’s support and openness that set the course of my professional development. 

What are your main tasks as a draftswoman?  

I draft CAD plans together with our project managers. It’s work that demands creative, detailed solutions, so my daily tasks vary quite a bit.

How do you stay informed and, more importantly, inspired?

Going through the world with open eyes is my biggest source of inspiration. When travelling it’s important to me to encounter different cultures and thus broaden my knowledge.

What materials make your senses tingle?

I really like it when wood is used in interior architecture. It creates a sense of calm and harmony in a space. 

What should not be missing from your workplace?

My notebook with all my notes is a must!

What building and/or space has left a particularly lasting impression on you and why?

The Danish waste-to-energy plant Amager Bakke, with the CopenHill skiing/hiking area on its roof, made a lasting impression on me. Having the willingness and the courage to break with norms and bring together two supposedly incompatible uses is an inspiration for my own personal development.

What fills you with joy and pride in your professional life?

That I was given the opportunity to improve myself professionally at Dobas. 

What brings you joy in your personal life?

I’m happy when I’m surrounded by my loved ones. When we can share experiences and make memories with one another. Doing creative work with all sorts of products also fills me with joy!
