Hi, there!

Sabine Reitmaier (she/her) is a multidisciplinary designer with a background in interaction design, design research and foresight.

Her practice makes extensive use of objects, artefacts and prototypes to stimulate conversation, communicate insights and explore the unknown. Materiality is at the heart of her work, whether developing prototypes for digital product development in a human-centred design process, or speculative design objects in a futures process. 😃

She graduated with a Master's in Foresight and Futures Studies from Freie Universität Berlin and a Diploma in Design from Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach. She previously worked as designer and research associate at Offenbach Institute for Mobility Design (OIMD) and at Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), contributing to national and international research projects and facilitating futures workshops in the context of generative ai, mobility and natures futures. She has developed applications such as the "Mobility Design Guide", the serious game "FlowMo" and the interactive experience "Imagine Flow". She is part of otherwise–a studio for research and design. 🌊

As as a member of the Design Research Society (DRS) and the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST), she continues to explore and shape what could be otherwise. Her research interest are speculative approaches in design research and emerging design paradigms. 💚
