What fascinates you about your work?

The fact that I can constantly seek answers to new problems. I particularly like the combination of working independently at my desk and interacting with my team, experts from other disciplines and clients.

When do you particularly enjoy a project?

Interdisciplinary projects and interacting with clients. I like to not only develop solutions, but also present and communicate them in a comprehensible way.
