Steffi Hußlein is a Professor Interaction Design at the Institute Industrial Design, University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal in Germany. Since ten years she is head of the Master Program Interaction Design and teaching as well in BA Industrial Design Department. Twenty years of professional experience in Interaction, Product and Speculative Design in the Human-Planet Centered Design Process.

I has been a visiting professor or researcher in the UK at the Leeds College of Art (Product Design) University of Edinburgh (Research Lab: Design Informatics & Industrial Design), University of Dundee (Product Design) and in Jordanien/Amman at the German-Jordanian University GJU (Interface Design) and in China at the CDK/ Academy of Arts in Hangzhou.

At the beginning of my career I was several years in the field of Industrial Design with a handcraft education as a gold- and silversmith. Mid-nineties, since the time of gameboys, first years of mobiles and www I´m in the field of Interaction-, Interface- and Product Design. Beyond I have been a deputy professor for Interface Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Dessau at the Bauhaus.

As a researcher for Interface Design at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam I established the Research Lab/ IDL for Interface Design: Eyetracking and UX Design. I worked for meta design (Service & Information Design), bvm (Game Design) and icon (Mobile Design).

I was a external PhD at the (TU) University of Technology of Berlin, ZMMS at the Center of Man-Machine Systems, Institute for Psychology and Ergonomics, but I didn't finished.
Research :: Sustainable & Speculative & Problem-solving
Designing relevant reflective LIVEABLE things, products and processes for now and the future I meaningful future-oriented Design I speculative-shapeable exploration of connected and augmented products I useful services for the daily life I in general the internet of beings I Improve the quality of life, to promote education, and justice, rather than to control and increase the imbalances.

Teaching :: Interaction Design I Product Design I Research Design I Futur Thinking I UX Planet Design // design, conception and rethinking of intuitive, emotional and formal-aesthetic things and products in environment with shapeable materials // Invent the behavoir, meaning & usability for sustainable future // eye tracking and augmented reality // including information visualisation for digital interfaces and the structure for information architecture // involving people and stakeholders in the design cycle

Mission :: Designing with imagination, empathy and curiosity for a meaningful coexistence with nature

Passion :: Rethinking Design for ambient interaction for liveable future
// Natural User Interfaces (NUI) & Tangible User Interface (TUI) // eye based Interaction and augmented reality // intuitive use of user interfaces (IUUI) // design patterns, Interaction design style guides and image schema is the search for basic design principles // I believe - the perception of user needs, cultures and behaviors, the understanding of ways of thinking and the human body with all senses, feeling emotions is a good pre-requisite in the design cycle

Domains :: Product design, IOT´s connected things & mobile, wearable, augmented interaction design // daily live & workspaces & urban mobility & privacy // medical & reha & health // gaming & learning // tangible & movements

Industry collaborations :: Atotech/TOTAL, Bosch Rexroth, Designworks - BMW Group, carmeq Berlin, DLR German Aerospace Center, ergosign Berlin, envis precisely GmbH, Fraunhofer Institut IAO, Fraunhofer Institut IFF, icon mobil, ImmoScout, Investionsbank, Miele, TELEKOM Research Labs, UBA Federal Environmental Agency Germany, UID User Interface Design, VW VOLKSWAGEN, Magna.

Leasure :: My new hobbys are mountainbiking and SU Paddling - but I´m real beginner;-) I love travelling around the world/ to track down human relationships/ I like to work in inspiring Design communities and invent user interfaces/ my family and all the best friends/ the freedom in the nature and mostly my busy hometown Berlin.
