Lena Jüngst is the Co-Founder and Chief Evangelist of Air Up, the pioneering start-up behind the world’s first drinking bottle that flavours water through scent. Together with her classmate and co-founder Tim Jäger, she developed this innovative system during her design studies, aiming to reduce excessive sugar consumption from soft drinks while saving plastic and CO₂.

Rather than pursuing a high-profile career as a product designer at Philips, Lena chose to fully dedicate herself to bringing her own idea to life. Her open-minded approach and belief in creative freedom have allowed her to turn her vision into reality, making a lasting impact on both health and sustainability.
