Julian Schwarze

Julian Schwarze is a designer and researcher at the Offenbach University of Art and Design (HfG), affiliated with the Offenbach Institute for Mobility Design. His work focuses on mobility design, integrating virtual reality simulations and behavioral pattern analysis into the development of complex mobility systems. He is currently pursuing a practice-oriented doctorate at HfG, examining product language and mobility processes.

He graduated from HfG in 2015 as a product designer and has since specialized in mobility process design. His career includes lecturing in integrated design and urban design, overseeing academic projects, and collaborating with entities like Deutsche Bahn, Canyon (bicycle manufacturer), and TU Darmstadt's urban planning department. His research methodologies involve VR simulations, shadowing techniques, and concept development for mobility systems.

His projects emphasize application-oriented design solutions, including integrating micro-mobility into existing transport networks and reconfiguring bicycle mobility. He actively contributes to third-party funded research and maintains a focus on experimental design approaches.
