About

Nice to meet you, I am Anabel! 🙂

„Design is a tool for systemic change. From my roots in high-end industrial design at Hs Pforzheim to exploring complex systems at HTW Berlin, I create objects that offer options. My goal: Designing the everyday as a space of possibility.“

Anabel Faas

combines strategic and industrial design to create products that have a clear social and ecological impact. She is currently completing her Master’s degree in Systemic Design at HTW Berlin, where her research explores systemic approaches to communicating ethical decisions within design.
Anabel bridges the gap between in-depth research and tangible prototyping. Whether she is analysing systems or leading the university course ‚Waternest‘, in which teams design for regional waterbirds, her work consistently demonstrates that good design considers more than just the human perspective.
