It Happens Here

Spatial Experience

For the PlayStation 5 stunt »It happens on PS5« I supported the creative team in bringing the spaceship concept to life visually. I used AI image generation to explore and sharpen the look of the 1:1 spacecraft and worked closely with the production partner to translate the idea into a feasible object, align details and prepare all final layouts and graphics for print and on‑site execution.

The project was recognised with an award from the Art Directors Club Germany.

A fulfilling relationship with time.

Visual concept and styling for several photoshoots

For the special Watches & Wonders issue of UHREN, a German watch magazine published by Welt. Each issue explored a distinct narrative, tailored to the features of the watches in the series.

Time Well Played

Each decade’s watch design was paired with a matching game from the same era. A playful journey through time. Choose your stop in the 20th century: the steely fifties, the futuristic sixties and seventies, or the elegant twenties.

Watches Worth Watching

Today's mechanical watchmaking is producing the most intricate timepieces ever, but they're rarely seen. This series reveals their craftsmanship through mirrors, showing front and back.

Underwater Above All Standards

We styled the waterproof watches underwater, in the environment in which they were designed to be used. These tool watches, with their bulky ancestors, once established the fame of major brands.

Circuits & Craftsmanship

At the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen. We showcased the precise craftsmanship of fine watches alongside the clumsy yet ingenious mechanics of world-class robots. When will the two be combined?

Zalando
Work in Play

Employer brand campaign for Zalando.


Designed to attract and retain talent for specific departments,
strengthening also the Zalando brand as a whole.

Most roles in a modern company are complex, varied and dynamic.

We identified that they require the kind of qualities typically associated with the play we knew as children: self-direction, creativity, curiosity, intrinsic motivation, and a genuine passion for the field.

Work can exist without culture, but there is no culture without play.

Play brings work to life.

Building on this insight, we developed the symbolic mechanic from
I ♥ into I ▶, using Zalandos brand mark to shift the energy into active engagement: Without losing the "I care" spirit of the original heart symbol, the play button now radiates "I'm in". The #WorkInPlay hashtag ties together the campaign message and encourages engagement, while also allowing to track brand impact.

Shot on a seamless white backdrop in black and white, inspired by Richard Avedon's stripped-back studio portraiture. Removing colour and location shifted the focus from product to person, trading Zalando's usual glossy fashion styling for a more direct, character-led portrait.

Work fills the time. Play fills the moments.

The campaign featured only Zalando employees. To promote the campaign and get employees excited about the shoot, we placed a mock-up of the layout without a picture in the mirrored elevators of the Zalando offices. Employees could take photos of themselves in the mirror.

It's not a career ladder, it's a climbing frame.

To make the Bread & Butter fashion fair organised by Zalando into a job fair too, we suggested using augmented reality to show visitors the job roles and contributions of Zalando employees at the fair.

WELT
Stories shift the view

Key Visual & Logo for the Young Author's Literary Prize "WELT VON MORGEN" at WELT

Stories shift perspective. A banderole wrapping a book anchors the identity in literature while suggesting a change in viewpoint. The expressive, painterly illustration gives the campaign an emotional and imaginative voice, fitting for a prize that celebrates fresh perspectives and emerging talent.

Stories connect with our emotions in a way that facts alone cannot.

They don't just inform; they change how we see the world. For this prize, I developed a visual identity that carries that same idea. The logo features a banderole wrapped around the edge of a book, anchoring the identity in the world of literature.

As this literature award will run for several years, it was important that the elements could be changed without affecting its recognition value.

The illustration style of David de las Heras brought the right tone: complex, warm, and distinctly of a younger generation.

Another Chapter
When the pandemic hit, I hit reset

Alongside my regular work, I conceptualized three apps using the full design thinking process, including user interviews, journey mapping, and Figma prototyping to earn a CareerFoundry UX certification. Here is how integrating user-centered design makes me a stronger, more strategic art director.

Observe & Understand

In art direction, this means understanding an audience's context. In UX, it means user research and personas. But always designing for real people

Engaging Emotion

Brand personality and persuasion in art direction. Usability and reduced friction in UX. The goal in both: make people feel something and act on it.

Solving the Right Problem

Brand challenges in art direction, user tasks in UX. The risk is always the same: solving the wrong problem.

Guiding the Journey

Both art direction and UX guide people through a sequence of moments. The craft lies in knowing what to show, when, and in what order.

Strategy Before Design

Good design is grounded in a clear outcome and value proposition. In art direction this means aligning to brand strategy. In UX it means measuring behaviour and impact.

Structuring Chaos

Affinity mapping, opportunity solution trees, and structured briefings turn messy input from clients, research, and workshops into clear direction.

About

Your concept.
My execution.
Or mine.
Either works.

You're looking for someone who can lead a creative concept and see it through, or help bring yours to life?

Based in Berlin, I'm a designer and art director with a diploma in Communication Design from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart and a CareerFoundry certification in UX Design. I've worked at leading agencies on high-profile clients and prestigious projects. I'm equally comfortable owning a creative vision from brief to delivery or stepping in to help bring someone else's to life.

I work across digital, physical, and spatial contexts, turning briefs and clients' needs into creative output that is thoughtful and well-crafted.

You've reached the end of my portfolio and I'd be happy to start a conversation.

Inviting someone to interview is a significant decision.
Research suggests that, six months on, people tend to feel good about the big decisions they make.
I’d love the opportunity to prove that right.
