What do you like most about your job / working at Hyphen?
The team approach. You might stand in the front row, but you’re never alone.

Who or what was the most important influence in your early career?
Learning about hexagonal grid and lattice structures from my professor, Eilfried Huth. Looking back, it fully transformed my view and approach to nature, space and energy.
