I am an independent designer with more than 20 years of experience in planning, creating, and producing both classic and digital media. I work either on my own as a kind of Swiss army knife or provide creative direction in larger teams. Since the internet became popular in the early nineties, I have been fascinated by creating things that interact. I started playing around with Flash and Lingo just for fun. With the demise of Flash, I recognized that digital media is constantly evolving and unstable. I have learned that designing digital content is an attitude. Designers either love or hate it. I love it.

Today, I art direct projects from various sectors. I plan, design, and prototype websites and apps, create logos, business cards, and brochures. I shape campaigns and art events, sometimes even designing CD covers with letterpress. I create and accompany corporate designs, including guerrilla projections on the German Kanzleramt.

With almost every new project, I do something for the first time in my life.

Although I never wanted to specialize in any particular topic, I have gained deep experience in redesigning news portals like the Austrian Kurier, HORIZONT, adidas NFOG for VICE, Sportswear International, and many other digital publishing platforms.

I have had the honor of working with publishers like VICE, Funke Mediengruppe, DuMont, DFV, and agencies like Kircher Burkhardt (now C3), clapp Mobile, and more. In this context, I have worked with brands such as DB Schenker, UNICEF, T-Mobile, Yahoo!, adidas, Porsche, e-on, IG Metall, ver.di, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, just to name a few famous names.

Unlike most other creatives, I design websites directly in the browser, using HTML, JS, and CSS. In this way, I can think and design interaction, responsive behavior, and functionality from the beginning. Nevertheless, I am proficient in Sketch, Figma, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I am also skilled and well-equipped in photography, having a small studio for product shots at my office.

I am a father of two lovely kids and happily married 🙂
