Water is life
In 2000 I started scuba diving (CMAS **) with a strong interest in marine biology and underwater archaeology (NAS-II certificate at Nautical Archaeology Society Portsmouth/UK in 2011) and since 2014 I am a multiplier for special course Denkmalgerechtes Tauchen (introductory course underwater archaeology) at VDST (German Underwater Federation) and KUWA and since 2016 multiplier at CMAS »Underwater Cultural Heritage Discovery Course« and I assist to UW-Archäologie I (Underwater-Archaeology I)-Course) at TSV NRW.

Networking – working together
Multidisciplinary backgrounds and also teams are often stronger and more flexible than a big agency. Working individually or in teams – depending on the project – together with specialists from media, photography, communication, advertising, art, culture, and environment.

In 2009 I signed the Charter for Sustainable Design by the Alliance of German Designers (AGD)
1. Responsibility
Designers to a large extent share responsibility for how our world is shaped. Design moulds and serves as an example: it creates a new consciousness. Design consumes resources to a greater or lesser extent. Design has to do justice to the sustainable management of natural resources, the environment and people who ought to be able to live in this world for generations to come.
2. Sustainable design is a process
We see sustainable design as a process. The emphasis is not on producing a fully sustainable product, but rather on gradually improving existing products and processes.
3. The dimensions of sustainable design
Sustainable design:
- uses materials efficiently and appropriately
- is energy efficient
- minimises the use of harmful substances
- reduces and produces very little waste
- is durable
- is efficient in terms of recycling and waste disposal
- is efficient in terms of logistics
- is appropriate for its use
- is socially acceptable
4. Together with clients
With their clients, the signatories strive to develop individual and sustainable concepts for design, production and use. Advice given to clients is an important building block in realising sustainable design.
5. Socially sustainable
Sustainable design takes into account the working and living conditions of people involved in the production process, conserves the living environment of people and animals, and supports socially acceptable wages and working conditions. The objective of sustainable design is also to avoid exploitative child labour and dangerous working conditions.
6. Signatories to the Charter undertake to:
- continue to learn about sustainable design,
- aspire to using energy-saving production methods,
- reduce consumption of natural resources,
- work towards design, when advising clients, that protects the environment as much as possible, is socially justifiable and conserves resources in the production methods and materials used,
- pay attention to durability and ease of use,
- is financially viable and successful.
