I am an engineer and designer with a proven ability to bring ideas to life
and demonstrate their deployability through a hands-on approach.

CHRISTIAN FELSNER

Excited by opportunities in the 3D digital space, my work bridges physical objects and digital formats. With 17 years of experience spanning the transportation industry, cutting‑edge research projects, and my current role in high‑resolution 3D digitization. I thrive on adapting to new challenges and pursuing the unexpected to set new standards. As a product designer, I have a keen eye for aesthetics and detail, and my engineering background enables me to tackle technically challenging projects with efficiency.
