Summary

As a graduate in Graphic Design and Computer Science, I began my professional career at Jung von Matt technik in Hamburg. There, I worked with clients such as Astra, Audi, BMW, Minolta, and Computer Bild. A highlight, besides the launch campaign for Astra "was dagegen" and the ad campaign for Minolta cameras, was developing the campaign look for the new Audi TT and Roadster.

After a three-year period at the Emc advertising agency focusing, among other things, on packaging design and classic communication, and clients like Käfer, Berliner Morgenpost, DEK, Aldi, Laurens Spethmann Holding, etc., I moved to Solutions AG as a Design Project Lead in the packaging design department. There, I oversaw clients like Campbell's Germany, Pillsbury, Dr. Oetker, Kraft Foods/Mondelez, Beiersdorf, Birkel, Procter & Gamble, Vion, Erfurt, etc., in leadership roles.

In 2008, I founded the design agency BRANDSHAPE branding & packagedesign. Our core business is branding (logo design, brand strategy, corporate design) and packaging design. Our clients include, among others, Beiersdorf, Church & Dwight Germany, Edding, the City of Hamburg, various startups and other SMEs.

Our profile as a network agency allows us to respond to a wide range of project requirements and to manage them effectively and professionally.

As a lecturer at the Macromedia Academy in Hamburg, I taught the subject Media Production.

I have also been working as an illustrator since 1995.
