Why Studio BOXQ
It's 2026. And we're pretending everything's okay. It's not.
As a designer, I believe we bear responsibility – for a future that truly works. For people and for all living beings on this planet. Individual products alone change little. What truly shifts things are mindsets. And structures that support them. That's why I work on both.
There are two ways I work. Because real change requires both:
From the route to the station
Specific stations will be built along both routes.
A station is not a standard solution. It's a logic that I translate together with you to your specific context. As an educational format, a system concept, a campaign, or a product. The logic remains. The design is up to you.
Use case: station “Forest Design Workshop”
The forest is not just a place to visit. It is a space for reflection.
Nature has known for billions of years how systems truly work. How things grow, adapt, fail, and re-emerge. We stopped observing this at some point.
Here we come down. We reconnect. And suddenly what was previously invisible becomes visible – not because I explain it, but because the place makes it possible.
This is Creative Education in practice.
Available for booking by schools, companies, festivals, and teams. 60 minutes or a full day.
The Forest Design Workshop was exactly what I needed. Being outdoors was inspiring, and the facilitator created a thoughtful and welcoming atmosphere with clear guidance and valuable insights. Interaction and fresh perspectives were guaranteed. I would highly recommend this workshop to both emerging and experienced designers.

This experience sparked ideas for both, my academic assignments and my personal projects. It made me rethink how nature can fuel design thinking and reminded me why creating for a more thoughtful, sustainable world matters so deeply. Truly an experience I'll carry with me.

As an architect, I was initially curious—and, to be honest, a little skeptical—about how a workshop in the forest could enrich my work in the office. I was all the more surprised by how profoundly this experience inspired me. Through mindful exercises, shifts in perspective, and the conscious engagement with space, materiality, and perception, I gained new insights into design processes. What was particularly valuable for me was reconnecting with intuitive thinking and moving away from purely analytical approaches. Since then, I've approached projects with a fresher, more open, and more creative mindset. The workshop is a wonderful opportunity to escape the daily grind while simultaneously gaining profound insights into design, creativity, and personal development. A clear recommendation—not just for creative professionals, but for anyone seeking new perspectives. Thank you, Mascha!

Who Studio BOXQ Works With
For those who no longer want to pretend that everything is okay.
Organizations & Companies
who understand that future skills are not created in guiding principles, but in action.
Educational institutions and universities that know that pupils and students need more than answers – they need tools for thinking.
Initiatives and NGOs that don't want to simplify complex topics, but truly communicate them.
What makes Studio BOXQ different
Many work on education. Others on product and system development.
I combine both because I believe that one rarely works without the other. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. The market for design education is growing by 14% annually. Systems thinking is considered one of the most sought-after skills of the future. And educational programs truly make a difference when they not only inform but also provide hands-on experience.
Who’s driving Studio BOXQ?
Hi, I'm Mascha – a designer and creative educator. I studied design for almost ten years, in different countries, systems, and schools of thought. At some point, you stop seeing design in isolation – you see it in the context of everything else. Since 2012, I've been working in field marketing & research and sales – all to finance my education. What I used to be ashamed of has made me the strongest person I am. It has taught me how people truly communicate, what motivates them, and how systems function in real life.
