We
The Design Research Lab is a laboratory for experimental design and research reflecting on the digital society. Through playful interventions, critical making and collaborative reasoning we investigate possible futures. As a platform and network, we are deeply involved with the requirements and policies needed for an inclusive and sustainable development of the digital society from a design perspective.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).

Katharina Bellinger
Researcher
Katharina studied product design at the University of Arts Berlin where she completed her B.A. in 2018, prior to which she had worked for four years as a packaging designer. She is interested in creating great experiences, whether physical, digital or in between. With a more tangible playful approach, she considers participatory design and prototyping as an important part of her design process. Currently, she is studying at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin within the masters program in product design with focus on interaction – designing for play, education and imagination, as well as working as a research assistant in the research group ‘Critical Maker Culture’ at the UdK Berlin / Weizenbaum Institute.
