About me

I was born in Germany in the second half of the 1970s and lived in a middle class home in a town named Uslar. My childhood was spent peacefully. I was 8 years old when my mother introduced me to a Decision Mate V with CP/M as its operating system. From then on I knew that computers would rule a great part of my life. I grew up creating ASCII/ANSI/VGA graphics for the underground computer scene.
 
After graduating from high school, I went to do a period of practical training at ‘HFS’, a Digital Photo Studio and ‘Screenform‘, an Advertising Agency specialising in New Media, both located in Hannover. During this first year I realised that my strengths lay in Graphic Design and the Internet. Soon after, I started my studies in Media Design at a technical school in Göttingen and was hired as a Screen Designer by the Full-Service Agency ‘BlackBit‘.
 
Two years later, ‘VIR2L Studios‘ recognised my output and invited me to Washington DC. After a month in the USA the company opened a division in London and I relocated to work there as an Art Director. For one and a half years I dedicated myself to several huge jobs including work for Broadcasting and Television Stations, TV-Shows and the Music Industry.
 
After moving back to Germany and working for nearly 5 year as a Senior Designer at ‘Fork Unstable Media‘ in Berlin, I decided to take fate in my own hands and started working freelance.
 
I look forward to challenging projects, which allow me to devote and sharpen my experience and skills in Web, Print and Multimedia Design, create Conceptual Solutions to Graphic Communication and be responsible for the successful attendance of huge accounts.
