After studying product & communication design in Bolzano (Italy), Constanze traveled & worked in many countries, before she found her way to Hamburg.
In 2009 she got the opportunity to establish the creative department of the successful German brand Donkey Products, one of the most innovative German gift brands. Together with Donkey Product’s founder, Florian Berger, she created a vast product range and looks back at countless nominations for international design awards culminating in winning the prestigious German Design Award in 2017 among others.
In September 2017, Constanze decided to move on and grow her own business. She founded the interdisciplinary design studio JAKCONI further focussing on product design, visual communication, editorial design & interior design. Constanze dedicates her energy to expand her minimalistic design approach into sustainable design. She loves to apply her skills and creativity to help innovators to resolve big social challenges.
