Summary
Born and raised in Munich, I started my career as a designer with a 3-year-long practical design formation at the German Masters School of Fashion, in Munich. I enjoyed the diverse skillset I gained through my formation. I was trained as a classical graphic designer, but also took courses in free artistic disciplines like painting and illustration, learned how to sew and construct clothing, and also learned how to cut movies and how to create animations professionally. I graduated as a state-certified communication designer in 2019. And then fully started my career working as a freelance designer. For two years I was freelancing for a News channel, where I created designs for Live TV, social media and web, besides having my own clients that where mostly in the print sector. Then in 2021, I moved to Prague and studied a BA course in graphic design, to graduate yet after two semesters, due to recognition of prior learnings, with a Bachelor of Arts. During that time I illustrated, wrote and designed my first own book that was awarded in 2023 at the German Art Directors Club Talent Award. Since my graduation in Prague I've been freelancing. In 2023 I moved back to Munich and working on some free projects that conclude fashion upcycling, ceramics and replanting rainforest. Beginning of 2024 I started a new career chapter working as an Art Director in advertising in Vienna. Currently I am freelancing and I am excited for my next step and always happy to make new connections.
