Meet Dominik, a serial entrepreneur and global design innovator with a passion for using design to help businesses and people be more environmentally friendly. Born in the small town of Kempten in Allgäu, Germany, Dominik comes from a family of successful entrepreneurs and inventors. His mother, Gisela, was a trailblazer in the health industry and co-founded the first women-only gym in Germany in 1984. And his father, Peter, is an engineer and technical professor who has a number of companies under his belt.

From a young age, Dominik had a creative streak, even reshaping the forms of his Lego bricks to fit his imagination. This passion for designing and building businesses around people's real needs continued to grow and eventually led him to pursue a professional education in finance and business economics.

In 2000, Dominik started as a developer and experienced designer, eventually opening his own boutique agency in 2002. The agency, named after his wife, had offices in several cities around the world, including Munich, Hamburg, Barcelona, and Bangkok, and designed award-winning work for brands such as ING, Volkswagen, Travelzoo, Mammut, and Panasonic.

But Dominik wasn't content to simply run his own successful agency. After successfully exiting it through an acquisition by a larger holding group of agencies, he stayed on as Partner and Chief Creative/Design Officer. Then was hired as Germany's First Innovation Design Director at the creative agency Agenta. Under his leadership, Agenta became one of the top 30 creative agencies in Germany.
