Personal Disclaimer:

I will not work for racists, fascists, anti-Semitics, homo/trans*phobics or ­misogynists. This also includes companies supporting or pushing the exploitation of people, animals or nature for profit in an unethical and unsustainable manner. (1) I’m happy to contribute to your voluntary projects in favor of fighting social/racial/gender injustices or supporting climate change or nature/wildlife conservation. Don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

(1) I know, this would skip almost every brand off my list. Please just be aware that I might reject your project due to ethical reasons and will address the matter in an early stage of our cooperation.

About

I am a Brand Designer and Creative Director based in Hamburg, Germany, available for collaboration or freelance work.

How I work:

As a brand designer with more than 15 years of experience, I work with people, brands and organisations who want to make a difference: whether in climate action, cultural or social causes. Design is never neutral, and I want to put my expertise to work in support of positive change.

What I find genuinely interesting is how brands are constantly evolving, which is why I prefer to support on a long-term basis, closely embedded within the team. Gaining useful insights in the actual communications work helps redefining as circumstances change. For this, I come backed by my large creative network: strategists, copywriters, illustrators, photographers, video producers, UX/UI designers, architects, fashion designers – we can expand the team as needed.

In my long-standing role as voluntary chairperson and design director of a wildlife conservation NPO, I’ve learned a great deal beyond climate, nature and wildlife protection: about leadership, organisational structures and working across highly diverse teams, which has been enriching both personally and professionally.

If this resonates with you, your idea or your company/institution/organisation, and you’re looking for a design partner who’s on the same page: let’s talk!
