====== About Leonie Winkelmann ======

{{:team:lw.png?400 |}}Leonie Winkelmann is a designer and researcher specializing in circular and systemic design, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. 
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Product and Communication Design from [[https://www.fh-muenster.de/msd/|FH Münster, Münster School of Design]] and a Master’s degree in Integrated Design from the [[https://www.hfk-bremen.de/de|University of the Arts Bremen]], where she focused on systemic design.

Her approach is reflected in projects like [[https://leoniewinkelmann.de/kopie-von-leezenflow-1|Systemdriven AI Design]], which explores design methodologies for AI-driven and resource-efficient solutions, based on three core principles: standpoint, sustainability and element relationships. Another example is [[https://smartcity.ms/leezenflow/|Leezenflow]], a green wave assistant for cyclists, designed to enhance urban mobility by promoting sustainable transportation. Both projects highlight her commitment to planet-centric, universal design and the role of design in shaping more sustainable futures.

Since 2021, she has been actively involved in [[https://www.vdid.de/newcomer/vdidlab/|VDIDlab]], the youth organization of the Verband Deutscher Industrie Designer (VDID). Here, she co-organizes events and initiatives that support students and early-career designers in gaining industry insights and networking opportunities.

Currently, Leonie is a research associate at FH Münster in the Creative Technologies Lab, focusing on design methodologies for sustainable and intelligent systems and a Designer at [[https://zauberzeug.com|Zauberzeug GmbH]], where she contributes to UX, product and system design for robotics and AI-driven solutions.
