Communication Design & Photography
After working for clients like the European Space Agency (esa), Cornelsen, and the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) for several years, I joined the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in 2014.
As Design Lead at HPI, I am in charge of the Visual Communication of the HPI School of Design Thinking. From designing its branding, marketing and teaching material to leading the development and creation of new visual identities and appearances within the HPI Design Thinking ecosystem.
My style is concept-based and minimalistic, with a strong focus on designing sustainably for planet and society. I believe in the responsibility of the individual. Choosing ecological sustainable paper, printing- and production processes is a must.
As a documentary and portrait photographer, who loves to travel, I have a passion for places, people, and their stories.
