I’m a freelance Art & Creative Director based in Hamburg with a focus on social-first campaigns, digital communication and brand experiences.
For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping brands turn complex challenges into simple, relevant and creative communication. I think strategically, build concepts around strong big ideas and develop smart solutions that work across channels. From social content to integrated campaigns, I create ideas that connect with people and strengthen brands.
My work covers the entire creative process. From concept development and visual direction to look creation, production and final campaign assets, I develop and realise campaigns from start to finish. I combine strategic thinking with hands-on creativity, using AI workflows as a natural part of the creative process to develop design moods, campaign visuals, storyboards and high-quality product visualisations. This allows ideas to be explored, refined and communicated much earlier in the process while making production more efficient. I also bring motion design skills to the table and can translate ideas into moving images whenever a project calls for it.
Before going freelance, I spent five years as Creative Director at la red in Hamburg, leading social and digital campaigns for brands including Astra, Rotkäppchen, Corny and Tagesschau. Since then, I’ve been supporting agencies and brands with campaign development, creative direction and digital communication.
Whether you need strategic thinking, a strong creative concept, visual excellence or an experienced creative to strengthen your team, I’d love to help.
Let’s create something great together.
