In Memory of Agnes Meyer-Wilmes

In the midst of the holiday break, the devastating news of the passing of our dear Agnes Meyer-Wilmes reached us and left us all deeply shaken. With great sadness, we say goodbye.

For many of us, Agnes was far more than a colleague. She was someone you were always glad to meet, someone you truly enjoyed talking to — open, attentive, warm-hearted and genuinely interested in what mattered to others.

What made Agnes so special was her attitude: her curiosity, her critical perspective, and her sincere commitment. She asked questions not to instruct, but to understand. Agnes followed the work of DESIGNABILITIES with great interest, and the conversations we shared with her about it will stay with us for a long time.

Agnes is deeply missed — as a colleague, a conversation partner and as a human being. What remains is profound gratitude for the time we shared, and for the many small, precious moments we were fortunate to experience with her.

Thank you, dear Agnes. Farewell.

🖤
