About me

Academically, I have a master's degree in cultural studies and Southeast Asian studies from Humboldt University in Berlin and a diploma in industrial design from Berlin University of the Arts. I am currently writing my doctoral thesis in neurotechnology at Charité / Humboldt University in Berlin.

Professionally, I have been involved in both product development and marketing / communication. I was originally trained in both areas and pursued them as a product manager. Afterwards, I worked in research, editing, PR and digital marketing.

Blog name

This is a private blog. It has no connection to my regular work. That's why I started it under the name nina.lilienthal (my actual name is Nina Reetzke). As a child, my grandmother showed me our family tree. Between seafarers, farmers and a hairdresser, there was also the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal. Since then, I use the name "Nina Lilienthal" when I need a pseudonym. In spring 2023, I went to see historical places of the Lilienthals in Berlin. The brothers Otto and Gustav were not only forerunners in flying and building, but also dedicated supporters of social reforms and performative arts.
