My name is Vanessa Bürkle and I come from Fellbach, a small town in southern Germany. I founded and own the company Vanessa Bürkle Innovation.

​

Whilst studying for my A-levels I started sewing face masks and quickly recognised that people who wear glasses suffer because their lenses keep fogging up. This was the start of my entrepreneurial journey.

​

In my spare time I am a Judo coach and member of the volunteer fire department. I also plan to study medicine.

 

The goal of my company is to make people's everyday life easier by providing a completely new product.

The OptiMaske makes things easier and the pandemic more bearable.
