hi, Im Marc

a dynamic designer from germany and the founder of undefault™. my approach to design blends global insights, drawing from my experiences studying and living in hong kong, and working in shanghai and taipei.

 

these diverse cultural perspectives shape the unique, impactful concepts i create at undefault™.

my professional journey includes university-level tutoring, co-founding a design collective in hong kong, and leading design teams across various companies. I’ve successfully navigated multiple roles, fostering global collaborations and driving innovation.

at undefault™, my focus is on industrial design and product management, crafting solutions that leave a lasting impact. when I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me at the boxing club, fine-tuning my synthesizers, or hanging out with my beloved sidekick, Bill.
