About Romy

I am an Art Director with nearly ten years of experience in corporate design, editorial, and accessible design. Seven of those years were spent at a small Berlin agency where I developed and managed major brand presences – from concept to implementation across all media. Since 2025, I have been working entirely on my own account.

My work ranges from creating complex corporate design systems and style guides to publication series and infographics, as well as digital content and trade fair appearances. I am accustomed to thinking projects through thoroughly and also to providing quick and uncomplicated support for specific individual tasks.

I work across industries – previously for clients in politics, culture, tech, medicine, and logistics, among others. New industries are explicitly welcome.

    Berlin, Germany
    I have been working freelance since graduating in 2015 – initially parallel to my full-time employment, and since 2025 full-time. What started as a side project is now my main profession. I work directly with my own clients or am booked by agencies on a daily or project basis. I bring the same care and standards to both.
