Research assistant
Nina Vössing is a research assistant at D² and a student in the Master‘s programme ‘Diversity Management, Religion and Education’. After studying social and environmental sciences in Maastricht (Netherlands), Freiburg (Germany), and Santa Barbara (USA), she explored Berlin‘s social and sustainable start-up scene. Originally motivated to shape a more sustainable economy and society, her focus today lies in the internal social-sustainable structuring of companies and organizations.
“Economic sustainability cannot be realized without diversity. During my studies, I advocated for a sustainable economic transformation. In practice, I realized: If something does not reflect the internal mindset of a company, then it cannot be successfully communicated to the outside world. Diversity-sensitive HR management starts within and promotes resilience, respect and attentiveness – values that are necessary to shape a more sustainable society and economy.”
Creative concept & design
Hannah Baumann is in charge of the creative ideas and their creative realisation at D² – Denkfabrik Diversität. No matter if print or digital - she aims to present the think tank‘s work and content in an attractive way while being accessible to everyone.
After completing her bachelor‘s degree in media design at Hof University of Applied Science, she immersed herself in the world of agency work for three years before joining the Denkfarbik in 2023.
"A very exciting topic for me, where there are no limits. Why not make all information accessible to everyone when all people benefit from an inclusive design? Diversity seems selfevident to many, but on closer inspection it becomes clear how much we can still do to actually achieve it. This design challange is an exciting journey for me!

What does diversity mean to you?
"Diversity is based on mutual understanding, which can only develop through respectful dialogue. As a white cis man with migratory history, it means one thing above all for me: listening to others. It is extremely important to me to recognize different perspectives and to question my own privileges with a lot of self-reflection."

"I enjoy enjoy introducing the topic to people in so many different ways.

Above all, it‘s about understanding different perspectives and needs and creatively developing suitable concepts."
