My principals

Good Design is based on content. It casts the fundament on which every idea can be build on.

Good Design works interdisciplinary. A substantial design concept attracts people in each media cannel.

Good Design establishs a universe in your brain. Fascinating people while strengthening brands with creative and intelligent concepts is what I'm aiming at.

Good Design makes people move. It makes them feel and forces them to do something.



Skills

Very good knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Cinema 4D and Blender. Good knowledge of FinalCut, Adobe After Effects, HTML/CSS (see this Webpage). basic knowledge of JavaScript, Qbase and Audacity.


Language Skills

Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache. I am fluent in English. Mon français est bien.
