To further develop her understanding of holistic product design, she began her interdisciplinary studies in product design and process development at the TH (Technical University of Cologne) and KISD (Köln International School of Design) after her graduation. In 2023 she finished her master studies with a thesis in cooperation with a great business partner.
Through the master program, she was able to expand her knowledge to the product related areas such as marketing, business excellence, project management as well as material science. Her fascination for porcelain, sustainable furniture design and related interior design have been growing.
Since then Valérie lives and works in Cologne, Germany with a strong interest in interdisciplinary design ideas and projects.
