What I Deliver

Three Core Service Pillars

01

CMF Design Strategy

Bespoke Material Curation & Sensory Identity. I define the material, colour, and finish strategy that expresses your identity across every touchpoint—from concept narrative to certifiable specifications.

  • CMF Vision Deck: narrative, principles, key touchpoints
  • Palette Architecture: hierarchical material and finish system
  • Signature Moments: junctions, stitching, embossing, tactility
  • Brand coherence across cabin zones and lifecycle phases
02

CMF Industrialisation & Quality Control

Supplier-ready execution. I bridge design intent and production reality—managing finish standards, sample approval loops, and feasibility across weight, cost, certification, and supply chain.

  • Finish Standards & Master Samples: acceptable variation limits
  • Sample Approval Loop: governance with suppliers and engineering
  • Risk/Feasibility Matrix: weight, cost, certification, durability
  • Handover specifications for completion centres and Tier-1 partners
03

Technical Advisory

Strategic Technical Oversight & Risk Mitigation. I focus on longevity, repairability, traceability, and trim-efficient procurement—choices that are measurable, defensible, and executable.

  • Material Provenance Record: origin, composition, compliance indicators
  • Serviceable Luxury: replaceable touchpoints without cabin strip-down
  • Procurement Efficiency: repeatable specifications to stabilise lead times
  • Audit-ready documentation for governance and resale confidence
Core Competencies

Where Strategy Meets Execution

Background

12+ Years Translating Vision into Industrial Reality

I help airlines, OEMs, and private aviation teams define and industrialise CMF strategies that are brand-coherent, certifiable, and supplier-ready. My focus is the intersection of premium perceived quality, execution certainty, and practical sustainability across the full lifecycle.

At Airbus, I led cabin branding definition and CMF customisation across A320/A330/A350 families for 30+ airline customers. At Lilium, I built the CMF strategy and cabin product offer for an eVTOL from early concept to production-ready catalogue, managing 35+ suppliers.

Based in Hannover, Germany. Available internationally for on-site workshops, completion centre reviews, and programme advisory.
