An arts residency scholarship under the theme "Rural Encounters" allowed me, as a scholarship holder, to live and work in Rhineland-Palatinate. I intensely engaged with the social and cultural specificities of rural areas and artistically processed my impressions. The scholarship promoted dialogue between urban and rural areas and made the diversity of rural regions visible.

As a freelance graphic designer for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, I was responsible for the design and implementation of digital advertising materials. This included banners, skyscrapers, infographics, icons, and illustrations used in conjunction with broadcast-related campaigns.

I created infographics on current topics such as unemployment figures, city maps, or construction sites, and developed graphics for specific broadcasts. Another focus was the graphic and content-related updating of the children's channel "Figarino," for which I designed icons and illustrations as well as implemented interactive games and animations using Adobe software.

Additionally, I was involved in the relaunch of the online presentation, for which I also developed key visuals for the portal's new look.

As part of a traineeship at the film and television production company Halle-Media TV, I was involved in the joint conception of multimedia advertising for Hallesche Stadtfernsehen, focusing on computer graphics and authoring programs. I also completed a work placement where I programmed HTML pages and internet presentations at A&S - Connect and Multimediale Informationssysteme GbR.
