About
Hello, my name is Philipp Körber.
I am living and working in Berlin.
I am available for commissional or freelance work.
I was born in Germany in the second half of the 1970s and spent a peaceful childhood in a town named Uslar. I was 8 years old when my mother introduced me to a Decision Mate V with CP/M as its operating system. From then on I knew that computers would rule a great part of my life. I grew up creating ASCII graphics for the underground computer scene and was running my own /X bulletin board system.
After graduating from high school, I went to do a period of practical training at HFS, a digital photo studio and Screenform, an advertising agency specialising in new media, both located in Hannover. During this first year I realised that my strengths lay in graphic design and the internet.
Soon after, I started my studies in media design at BBS II, a technical/vocational school in Göttingen and was hired as a screen designer by the full-service agency BlackBit.
Two years later, VIR2L Studios recognised my output and invited me to Washington DC. After a month in the USA the company opened a division in London and I relocated to work there as an art director. For one and a half years I dedicated myself to several huge jobs including work for broadcasting and television stations, tv-shows and the music industry.
After moving back to Germany and working for almost 5 years as a senior designer at Fork Unstable Media in Berlin, I decided to take fate in my own hands and started freelancing.
Nowadays I am working as an independent contractor for various well-known agencies and clients across Europe, where I am responsible for the visual appearance of many large-scale projects from the finance, automotive, public transport and retail sector.
