Max Witzstrock

Max Witzstrock, industrial designer from Munich, impresses with an application-centred approach and a clear eye for holistic design. Since graduating in 2019, he has been working independently and designing products that are intuitive to use and form part of larger systems.

Max Witzstrock was born in Munich in 1992. After finishing school, Max Witzstrock studied industrial design at HTW University of Applied Sciences Berlin and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2019. During this time he also spent a semester at Otago Polytechnics, New Zealand. Max Witzstrock pursues a consistently user-centric approach in all of his projects, aiming to make them as simple and intuitive as possible. He always sees the design process as part of a larger context as well. For him, a product to be designed never stands on its own but has to be thought of as part of a system. Max Witzstrock is currently working on a self-employed basis in the fields of industrial design, interior design, trade fair construction and promotion.
