About me

I'm a Berlin-based Senior Art Director with over 7 years of experience shaping bold visual identities, brand experiences, and motion content across agencies, in-house teams, and as a dedicated freelancer since 2018. My work bridges concept-driven design with precise execution—whether for social content, packaging, campaigns, or immersive video experiences.

I began my creative journey as a state-certified media technician with university entrance qualification at AUCOTEAM GmbH in Berlin. Since then, I’ve held key creative roles across diverse industries:

At BG BAU, I was responsible for the full visual communication strategy, designing impactful campaigns that promoted health and safety in the construction sector.

At Wholey Organics, I led the art direction across packaging, digital, and marketing channels— shaping a brand language rooted in sustainability and innovation.

At VONÜBERMORGEN, I managed the design team and directed creative output across digital, motion, and branding. I also led the full pre- and postproduction for TEDx Kassel 2023, and worked as Digital Designer for TV presenter Jan Köppen.

As Creative Manager at Visoon Video Impact, I headed the entire design department, developing cross-media campaigns and video advertising solutions in collaboration with top media partners.


Alongside my agency roles, I’ve continuously worked as a freelance Senior Art Director, offering creative support and strategic design across branding, video, and storytelling for a wide range of clients.

Outside of work

Born and raised in Berlin, I’ve always had a passion for visual culture, technology, and how things are made. Outside of my creative work, you’ll usually find me in the gym lifting weights, on the volleyball court, or exploring new cities and cultures whenever I can. I’m also a longtime gamer, and I share my home (and sometimes my desk) with my cat Haku.

 

I’m deeply curious about emerging design trends, especially in the world of 3D and AI. Whether it’s experimenting with new tools or diving into the future of creative technology, I love exploring how innovation can enhance both aesthetics and storytelling.
