Since 2011 I have been working in the design sector. Beginning with a three year apprenticeship at a full service Media Agency, in the heart of Ruhr Valley: “MEDIA GROUP ESSEN”. Here I was able to learn a large variety of skills: conceptual design, layout, prepress, retouching, composing, presentation, branding. At this point about 90% print and a great start!

Afterwards I went on to Düsseldorf, where I have been a graphic designer in the creative office of musical producer “Mehr-BB Entertainment”. An exiting branch with interesting projects. On top of free musical tickets, I had the chance to learn from a talented designer and art director.

From 2015 to 2017 I expanded my knowledge in prepress, composing, packaging design, colour editing and high class retouching at “Buss und Gatermann”. I’m especially thankful for the client Warner Bros’ extraordinary high precision standards. They taught me to distinguish even the smallest colour differences when it comes to color editing.

From 2017 to 2022 I worked in the marketing agency “DNSi” and got the right projects to expand my skills in motion design, web design, social media marketing. I could also reinforce my print knowledge. One of the most precious clients was Welthungerhilfe. In over two years of working side by side with this client I was given some quite versatile projects. The campaigns mostly included many channels like social media, print, static and also motion ads.

Lastly I was working as a Senior Art Director in the design department of the Hamburg based company "Statista". They created the platform of the same name specialized in data and statistics as a product. A workplace where I had a noticeable influence on their online marketing and the look of the brand in several sectors. Through the conception of marketing campaigns including social media, I was able to dive deeper into motion design, social media marketing and brand design. I was happy for the chance to collaborate with different teams and experiment with online marketing. Together with other designers in my team I gained more experience in having the creative lead for severel projects and the implemantation of new styles and design guidelines.

Today my skill set and projects I work on are far apart with what I learned in the very beginning. The design industry changes permanently and quickly. I try to constantly keep moving and never stop learning. At the moment my goals are implementing A.I. deeper into my workflow and strenghten my knwoledge in 3D motion design with Blender and Houdini. In the end I would like to be able to visualize Ideas efficiently with the least amount of detriment to quality and time. For this it helps to be always open for new tools, workflows and tasks. Additionally I would like to gain more experience in the role of a creative lead.
