As an Art Director with 12 years of full time experience I have been working in international agencies and studios such as (DDB, Granny, Zum Goldenen Hirschen…). In this time I have been responsible for many publicly known campaigns and gained much experience in leading international teams as a Head of Design. I was leading many shootings and I love to bring in my craft and artistic side whenever it is possible.

I am the founder of Rollbuch. A brand I developed with Paul Lichtenegger 10 years ago. For this we collaborate with international artists and illustrators to publish art editions or children books. I learned about building a brand from scratch and i am in charge of the overall communication on social media as well as with the artists. We also participated in countless book fairs such as (Museum der Arbeit, Museum Altona, Miss Read, Blickfang Deichtorhallen,Arte Padova…).

As an environmentalist, I am supporting brands and projects to create a better tomorrow. Although my focus lies mainly in marine protection i also support also other sustainable and environmental driven challenges. In the last years i was among others supporting Ocean. Now!, a Berlin-based NGO, focused on the fight against micro plastic. Ocean. Now! achieved to collect more than 120.000 signatures that were handed over to the minister of the environment in Berlin as a call for action. I was in charge of creating Keyart Designs for several big events that Ocean. Now! organized. For the project „In your face“ we collaborated with Rollbuch. Over 40 known faces, such as (Dieter Hallervorden, Luisa Neubauer, Madeleine Darya Alizadeh, Jeanne de Kroon, Swantje Guentzel…), were rolling through this edition carrying micro plastics in their faces.

Furthermore I have been working several weeks with Sanccob saves seabirds in Cape Town. Recently i just published my own children book about my experience as a caretaker for South African penguins. The sales of this book were 100% donated back  to Sanccob and the protection of South African Penguins.
