Summary

As a graduate in Graphic Design and Computer Science, I started my career at Jung von Matt technik. There I worked on 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 launch of the Audi TT and Roadster.

After a 3-year stay at the Emc advertising agency, focusing on packaging design and traditional communication with clients like Käfer, Berliner Morgenpost, DEK, Aldi, Laurens Spethmann Holding, etc., I moved to Solutions AG as Design Project Lead in the packaging design area. There, in leadership roles, I managed clients such as Campbell's Germany, Pillsbury, Dr Oetker, Kraft Foods / Mondelez, Beiersdorf, Birkel, Procter & Gamble, Vion, Erfurt, etc.

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 the widest range of project requirements and handle them effectively and professionally.

As a lecturer at the Macromedia Academy, I taught media production. I have also been working as an illustrator since 1995.
