Summary

Hi, I'm Anne Wermelskirchen, a crazy Quiddje, meaning an out-of-town landlubber, who docked in Hamburg 14 years ago. For 12 years now I’ve been working as a freelancer in the fields of brand design and art direction at senior level. I do marketing for clients of all sizes, both across Germany and beyond.

Do you need someone on site to bring fresh energy into a project? I'm flexible and always up for travel and new people, cities, and challenges. Just give me a call and I’ll come sailing or flying by.
