I work with agencies, businesses and start-ups to help creating communication that makes a difference. 
I do concepts and art direction for digital and classic advertising, content marketing and design projects. In each and every project I contribute my expertise with digital and classic projects for many national and international brands.
I love ideas and good design. In my opinion the essential starting point for both is a strong insight and a clear strategy. My aim is to bring even the most complicated briefing into a simple and fascinating idea – well executed, no matter if online or offline.
I am happy to support you and your projects with my services:

My work was honoured with 200+ awards like Cannes Lions, ADC, Clio Awards, OneShow,  Webby Awards or FWA Site of the Month. I am Member of the Art Directors Club Germany and Judge for the ADC and Mobius Awards.
I still love learning: on the job, while working as a teacher and mentor in art schools or taking class myself. For example Masterclass digital acceleration at Hyper Island in Stockholm or Digital transformation at the Good School in Hamburg.
