About me

Over 12 years of experience — from classic print jobs to interface design and front-end development. I’ve worked in three different agencies, so I know how agency life works: fast turnarounds, shifting priorities, tricky clients — no problem. I don’t shy away from the basics or complex tasks — I get things done.

On this page, you’ll find an overview of my work experience, education, skills & tools, and languages — the building blocks of how I work and what I bring to the table.

A Pragmatic Spirit – Learning by Doing

I am naturally pragmatic, approaching every work challenge with a hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset. Whenever I face a problem at work, I instinctively try to solve it myself rather than rely on ready-made solutions. This attitude helped me learn and grow continuously, whether it was building models with integrated lighting, 3D printing and hand-painting prototypes, or even sewing my own bicycle bags from recycled windsurfing sails to meet specific needs instead of buying off the shelf.

During my vocational training, I dedicated much of my free time to teaching myself HTML, CSS, and other web technologies. I developed small websites on my own to practice and improve my skills. Later, alongside my studies, I taught myself Figma from the ground up out of pure interest, which has since become a key tool in my design workflow.

One of the most complex and rewarding personal projects was restoring my Simson Schwalbe motorbike from scratch. The process taught me a lot through hands-on trial and error, reinforcing my ability to learn by doing and persevere. Whenever something breaks or a problem arises, I see it as a chance to learn and develop new skills — even if I have no previous experience in that area.

This pragmatic, proactive approach defines how I tackle challenges at work. I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and dive into unfamiliar or complex tasks, but I also know when to collaborate and seek advice. It’s this balance of independence, curiosity, and teamwork that drives me to keep improving and find creative solutions in every project I take on.

„When designing, I always prioritize user guidance and functionality, because I believe that form should be a natural consequence of purpose — a true embodiment of ‚form follows function.’”

„In the beauty of nature I find the energy to fuel my passions and the spark for my innovative ideas.“

„Golf isn’t just a sport to me; it’s a way to step away from everyday stress and immerse myself in a world of calm and concentration. Out on the course, surrounded by nature, I find the space to clear my mind and focus on every shot.“
