ABOUT ME
A strategic aesthete – that’s how I see myself. Combining design and strategy is my profession and my passion. I advise my clients and design for them, regardless of them being companies or individuals from the fashion industry. In the branding process I can combine my strength for analysis with my love for outstanding design.
Since my diploma in fashion design at the UdK Berlin almost 15 years ago, I have been working as a strategist & designer for the fashion industry. During the five years of work at the renowned design studio bel epok in Cologne I gained unique insights into and valuable experiences in the strategic conception and graphic design of high-quality brand identities for customers such as Hugo Boss, Joop! and others.
For almost 10 years I have been using this knowledge as an independent brand strategist & designer for my clients to advise them on sharpening their profile and to design their visual brand identity. My clients appreciate my analytical talent, my high sense of style and my intuition for zeitgeist, combined with a target-oriented intuition for the individual needs of my client. My network of photographers, illustrators, programmers, etc. also enables me to take on more extensive project requests.
In addition, I am a lecturer at the fashion design faculties of AMD Berlin, B.A.U. Berlin, HTW Berlin, Reutlingen University of Applied Sciences, MD.H Munich/Berlin, UdK Berlin and KH Weißensee and teach students in strategic and graphic topics in the fashion context.
