What I do
I have been working with big brands for more than 15 years.
I am providing a full range of strategic, creative and technical expertise in the area of digital communication — specialising in visual and interactive design.
I am a highly experienced digital creative living and working in Berlin.
I provide art-direction on small- and large-scale projects from creative conception to completion.
Whether the objective is commercial or educational, whether artistically or technically focused — I have the know-how to deliver a bespoke solution, always driven by the desire to create digital products and experiences that suit contemporary needs.
I want to share my passion for design and creativity and produce work that helps the brand succeed. I look forward to challenging and innovative projects, which allow me to sharpen my experience in interdisciplinary design, create conceptual solutions to graphic communication and be responsible for the successful attendance of huge accounts.
I am continuously learning and utilising the latest applications and technologies for communicating ideas — always staying ahead of the constantly evolving digital landscape by meeting changing consumer expectations.
