Ideator
I thrive on generating fresh perspectives and practical solutions across disciplines. I play with possibilities — taking inspiration from unexpected places and translating them into ideas that cross boundaries between art, design, and innovation.
This mindset runs parallel to my work as a sculptor. In clay, I explore transformation and hybridity; in innovation, I look at how structures, tools, and environments can be reshaped to better serve people. The thread is the same: curiosity, imagination, and the drive to make ideas tangible.
I contribute concepts to open innovation platforms such as InnoCentive and Quirky, where I’ve developed proposals ranging from urban infrastructure redesigns to product concepts. These projects show how artistic imagination can extend into design, technology, and social systems.
Project Highlight: Cycle Train
Pedal-Powered Tour Modules
AI-guided e-bike train for Copenhagen | Urban concept | Draft ideation

This concept reimagines urban sightseeing through a modular, pedal-assisted vehicle system designed for Copenhagen’s bike lanes. Tourists travel in connected, lightweight units — each with its own pedals, seat, and battery support — combining activity, sustainability, and shared experience.
Individual Modules
Each passenger sits in a low, reclined seat positioned between two large wheels, protected by sleek fairings that double as armrests. Pedals in a natural cycling position allow travelers to contribute at their own pace, supported by electric drive assistance.
Connected as a Train
The modules are linked by a two-rod articulated coupler, providing stability and flexibility when turning. This keeps the “train” short, narrow, and agile — perfectly suited to Copenhagen’s cycle infrastructure.
AI-Assisted Navigation
The front module houses sensors and cameras that enable AI-supported navigation. The system follows set tourist routes at a safe, leisurely speed (15–20 km/h), stopping at cultural landmarks, viewpoints, and hidden gems. Steering is automated — passengers only need to pedal and enjoy the ride.
Design Inspirations
The idea blends several references: Istanbul’s dolmuş shared taxis with their flexible stops, the relaxed seating of pedal boats, the efficiency of e-bikes, and the automated navigation of AI-driven systems.
Collaboration
This is a conceptual design study developed by Nadine Meinicke-Kleint.
I am open to collaboration, consulting, or co-development with municipalities, design firms, and research groups interested in exploring sustainable urban mobility solutions.
