More than design. A teammate.

I combine 19+ years of design expertise with project leadership experience, keeping deadlines and workflows on track without losing creativity. Colleagues value my calm and structured mindset, my curiosity for new technologies like AI, and my collaborative way of working that makes teamwork both productive and enjoyable.

Behind the pixels

The Human Layer

Colorful, but never pixel-perfect. In my free time, I enjoy a mix of mountain calm, city chaos and a dog who thinks every walk is a grand adventure (. I like good food, honest laughter and the kind of moments that slow things down… until curiosity kicks back in.

Always open to meeting new people and exploring where shared ideas might lead.

FAQ

Answered questions.

Everything you might want to know — up front.

What kind of role are you looking for?

I’m looking for a full-time position where design connects directly to real products and ideas – not necessarily in a classic agency, but within a brand or company. Ideally, a hybrid role that blends design, product development and strategy.

How do you deal with feedback?

With open ears, calm reflection – and occasionally with chocolate.

What’s your biggest design lesson so far?

That graphic design can be art – but communication design should never be self-expression. The message should always speak louder than the designer’s taste.

Why do you look different in the header image?

Good catch. That one’s an AI-generated portrait – I wanted something cinematic for the intro. This photo, however, is 100% real. Glasses included (yes, I actually wear them when I work).
