Freelance Senior Graphic Designer & Project Manager

Hello! I’m Dirk Schmitter from Cologne.

As a designer & owner I help companies and agencies implement holistic and sustainable design solutions – analog & digital ✌︎.

What sets me apart? Friendly service and a passion for good design. My strength lies in combining strategic thinking and technical execution for both analog and digital media. In addition, I bring extensive experience in project management – this combination sets me apart in the market.

What do I offer? I offer the perfect mix as a self-employed designer with a small design studio and a cross-functional project team. I have over 20 years of experience as a designer and project manager. I specialize in holistic brand design for print and online media, creating new brand worlds and optimizing existing ones. So if you need classic print media, plan a comprehensive redesign, want to further develop your corporate brand design or want a new website, then you’ve come to the right place.

Who is my service ideal for? For companies looking to promote and sustainably transform their brand. Those who need and appreciate support in the design process. I offer a partnership-based collaboration where ease and individual requirements are at the center.

I prefer to work with companies and agencies long-term because I believe that better goals can be achieved that way.
