Joshua Schoebel
I'm a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience turning complexity into clarity. My background in mechanical engineering gives me a foundation in systems thinking and Human Machine Interface design, understanding how people interact with physical and digital products. But what drives me is empathy. I lead with research, because understanding users deeply is the only reliable way to create solutions that actually matter. My greatest motivation is seeing how the work we create impacts the people using it.

Portfoliovision: Lightweight Respiratory Protection for Dräger
Bachelor thesis in Mechanical Engineering & Design at Hochschule Emden/Leer, developed in collaboration with Dräger. The project reimagines the light half mask segment through a modular system approach, separating the mask body, filter, exhalation valve, and harness into independently configurable components. The result is a product vision that addresses fit, hygiene, and customisation while reducing manufacturing complexity.
