About Stephanie

I develop brands for founders who are launching a product in food, cosmetics, or drinks – and need an identity that communicates the right message from the start.

My approach: Strategy and design come from a single source. I start with the foundation – positioning, target audience, attitude – and then translate that into design myself: logo, color, typography, visual language, packaging. This way, you don't get a jumble of individual parts, but a system that works on every channel.

After 17 years, I know when brands are effective – and when they don't resonate despite good design. The difference almost always lies in the strategy behind them.

I work 1:1, with clear processes and without agency overhead. Projects from Munich and nationwide.

Skills:
- Brand Strategy
- Naming
- Brand Story
- Branding / Corporate Design
- Packaging
- Web Design
- Editorial
- AI Image Generation
