For me, good design starts with a good idea and genuine interest in the brand.

In 15 years as a permanent Art Director at renowned creative agencies like Thjnk, Heimat, and DDB Heye, I have built brands, developed campaigns, and learned how strong concepts are created that not only look good but also have an impact.

For the past four years, I have been working as a freelancer – for agencies such as Tresterbolo, Scholz & Friends, Berger Baader Hermes, and Brainfunck, among others. This mix of extensive agency experience and flexible project work allows me to think strategically while implementing pragmatically and efficiently.

I feel at home in many different areas: Food, gastronomy, automotive, pharma, management consulting, magazines – each topic brings its own language. I love delving into them and developing visual solutions that are a perfect fit.

My focus areas are branding with corporate design and logo development, business stationery, brochures, annual reports, flyers, social media, and illustration.
