Grown up in the south of Germany, in the Freiburg region, Arian became more interested in product design after completing his graphic design training due to the family's craftsman's vein. So he moves to the classicist city for his studies at the Bauhaus-University in Weimar, where he discovers his interest in bicycles and their important role in traffic. After an internship in the bicycle-typical city of Copenhagen, Arian came up with the Bachelor's idea of transporting loads by two-wheeler, which was the first step in the development of the Elephant Cargo Fork. Arian is now working full-time in the bicycle industry.
