I've alwas been attracted by visual appeal. Therefore I started to be creative at a very early age by recording interesting things with my dads old camcorder. When I was 13 I got my first DSLR and fell in love with photography ever since.
Additionally I developed a passion for digital art and therefore I would desribe myself as a master in photoshop. I shared a lot of my work on social media and people really enjoyed my content. I tried to combine my affection to fashion with surreal photo manipulation. Thats how I grew a decent audience on Instagram and began to find interest in social media marketing too.
Generally you can say that I have an inner urge to be creative in any way. I always search for new challenges and try to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can. For example, I recently discovered rug tufting - weird hobby, right?
In 2017 I startet my bachelor degree in media- and communication design at the Macromedia in Cologne. I loved this study because we've worked with real clients on real problems. I had the chance to do many design projects which led in lots of experience and knowledge.
After that I began to do my master degree in design management. This was completely different from my bachelor degree because we were now challenged with management aspects. Now, we don't just do the excecution of a design but the whole strategic conception and management of excetution processes.
In 2020 I started my own little business by selling second hand clothes. This is very challenging because I am a one man army and have to take care of every kind of issue. I've also learned a lot in terms of entrepreneurship. The thing I like most about this business is that I can be creative in many ways. I can design my own brand visuals but also its products - the fashion. I learned how to sew with a machine. Since then I try to fix as many clothes as I can or create something new out of it.
Despite the pandemic, 2021 was a highlight for me. I was really happy when I heard that I was nominated for the About You Awards as an outstanding artist in the category style. It was an honor for me to see that my creative work I shared in Instagram proved to be exemplary and high of quality for the jury. The introduction of me and my work on Pro7 - one of the biggest german tv channels - was a really memorable moment for me.
Besides of all that I work for a business complex consisting of a design furniture manufacturer (Radius Design), a restaurant (Officina del Gusto) and a car garage (Radius Garage).
I'm resposible for any kind of creative work like prodct photography, graphic design, print tasks, layout and so on. Beyond of that I also do tasks outside of my discipline like laser engraving and foil plotting. Generally, I help everywhere I can.

One thing I want to improve in the future is my skill of 3D modeling and rendering. In my opinion this will be something really important in the future due to the rise of virtual / augmented reality.
