Maika Dieterich

Germany (DE, EN, FR)

I'm Maika Dieterich and I'm about to get my bachelor's degree in communication design at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. In my studies I create all kinds of visual communication. I particularly like to experiment in creative coding or motion design. The most important part of my design process is a well-thought-out concept on which good design is built. In addition to studying, I design and experiment with wood, metal, ceramics and other materials to build furniture, lamps or other objects.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
