“Combining engineering thoroughness with design sensibility,
I turn concepts into deployable digital solutions through a hands-on approach.”

CHRISTIAN FELSNER

Fueled by a passion for digital transformation, I specialize in converting tangible objects into rich, interactive 3D assets that power next-generation experiences. Over 17 years, I’ve driven innovation across the transportation sector, led groundbreaking research initiatives, and now spearhead high-resolution 3D digitization projects. I excel at embracing new challenges to redefine industry benchmarks, and my dual expertise in product design and engineering allows me to execute complex, technology-driven solutions with precision and efficiency.
