Leopold Slenczka is a Product Design Student at Bauhaus-University Weimar.

He is interested in Transformational and Socially Responsible Design approaches. He tries to explore different ways to tackle inequity and injustice in efficient and effective ways through design.

Born in a family of protestant priests, he was confronted with those topics from an early age on and tried to always raise his voice in any way he could.

The sometimes pretentious designer. Don’t look too close, his tongue is peaking. Oops!
