Bernhard Dietz

With an education and mind-set rooted in design as well as science, Bernhard enjoys to create clarity and simplicity in situations riddled by complexity and a lack of orientation. Clarity and simplicity to him are expressions of beauty, contributing to the goal of making the world a better place, project by project.

Over his 25 years of practice Bernhard has contributed his skills to a diverse set of organizations, ranging from design agencies, architectural offices and environmental consultancies to engineering companies, furniture manufacturers and research institutions. In 2016 he founded ZEED, a creative consultancy and maker firm and started teaching in the Faculty of Design at OCAD University in Toronto.

Originally from Germany, Bernhard came to North America on a Fulbright scholarship in 1997 and moved to Canada in 2006 to join Bruce Mau Design. His international background has been an important inspiration and compass in his daily work.
