Birgit Severin is a Berlin-based designer with background in psychology.

Her work investigates how things acquire meaning through being involved in personal narratives or reflecting universal life themes such as transformation, identification and belonging. Birgit finds inspiration in the arts and through exploring and analyzing everyday experiences and activities. Challenging the core assumption that design should aim to create symbols of a perfect life, she researches design strategies that celebrate the full spectrum of our existence, embracing its impermanence and unpredictability.
