About Frederik

I am a 29-year-old interdisciplinary designer from Mannheim, living in Frankfurt, with ten years of design experience as a freelancer.

In addition to numerous personal projects, I have designed various print products, logos, and websites for over 60 clients from all industries, as well as some typefaces for sale.

My academic career includes a Bachelor's degree in Communication Design in Wiesbaden, a scholarship in Jordan, and a Master's degree in Type Design in Mainz. Since then, I have been co-founder of an award-winning startup for design software, gaining valuable and diverse experience daily in areas such as business management, marketing, and project management.

My projects have received awards including the World Calendar Award (Gold 2019), Kreativpilot*innen 2024, DDX Design Award Bronze (2024), and the Gregor Calendar Award (Bronze 2019), as well as nominations for the UX Design Award 2023 and the Social Impact Award 2023. My work has been published in, among others, the Typodarium (2023-2025) and PAGE magazine (2024).

Frederik is very reliable and provides great input! The collaboration was consistently pleasant and uncomplicated. We are all very satisfied with the result as a team - from my perspective, this is a result of his fast and flexible approach to new ideas, e.g., during peer feedback.
