Scientific career

Annika Frye studied industrial design at the Kunsthochschule Kassel from 2004 to 2010 . She wrote her diploma with Oliver Vogt, Sandra Groll and Uta Brandes on the subject of improvisation in design. The topic of improvisation also formed the starting point for a comprehensive study of design studies and design Frye as part of her doctorate at the Offenbach am Main University of Design from 2011 to 2015. In her dissertation , Frye shows the consequences of a design concept based on the design process and its improvisations for methodological purposes and conceptual debates in design science. The dissertation was supervised by the design theorist Bernhard E. Bürdek , the philosopher Juliane Rebentisch and the designer Peter Eckart. The work design and improvisation. Products, processes and methods was published by Transcript Verlag in June 2017 .

From 2011 to 2014 Annika Frye was a research assistant at the HfG Offenbach.

Annika Frye then worked as a lecturer for design theory and design history, as well as a research assistant at the Aalen University of Technology, where she teaches design basics and helped set up an industrial design program. Internships in design offices during her studies led Frye to Richard Hutten in Rotterdam and to Kiki van Eijk in Eindhoven, among others.

In April 2017 she was appointed professor for design science and research at the Muthesius Art Academy in Kiel. Your teaching concept for the art college provides for a combination of design science content and applied design research. She researches the question of how digital materiality affects industrial design processes.

Design projects, public collections and awards

In addition to the design studies, Annika Frye worked on experimental setups on the subject of improvisation. Her improvisation machine, a rotationally cast apparatus that can produce individual pieces, can be found in the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts (Vienna) and was represented at the Istanbul Biennale 2012.

With her projects in the field of experimental industrial design, she took part in exhibitions at the New Museum of Contemporary Art , the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut , the Vitra Design Museum , the Design Museum Holon in Israel and the International Design Festival 2011 in Berlin.
