Summary

During my studies, I worked as an intern at Ogilvy in Frankfurt, where I was later brought on as an Art Director, handling accounts such as Avon, Jever, Shell, Signal, Kukident, Ciba Geigy, CMA, and American Express Travel Checks. At Ogilvy, I was also entrusted with supervising and training interns. To advance my career, after 3½ years I moved to the Frankfurt agency Leo Burnett, where as Senior Art Director I took responsibility for the Philip Morris accounts L&M, Merit, F6, Light American, and Karo. There I learned the full range of advertising media design—from film, print media, POS, direct marketing to event marketing and sales force motivation—and led a creative team of five. Since 1992 I have been self-employed, working directly for clients such as Neckermann, DB Bahn, Boehringer, Wella, Deutsche Vermögensberatung, Hess Naturtextilien, McNeill, Samsung, Tupperware, and MEDA Pharma. I am hired project-based by agencies and direct clients for presentations, concept development, layouts, copy, photography, and Photoshop visualizations. My services range from concept and layout to illustration, copywriting, photo direction, final artwork, and print supervision. My specialties are classic advertising, POS, shopper marketing, pharma advertising, direct marketing, labeling and packaging, corporate design, and Photoshop visualizations. I taught the modules Corporate Design, Advertising Media Design, Copic Illustration, and Graphic Design for 10 years as a lecturer at IMK in Wiesbaden and Merkur Academy in Darmstadt.
