I’m a German Artworker and Media Designer, certified by the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), and I’ve been working professionally in the creative industry since 2002.
I began my career teaching apprentice media designers and printers, before running my own one-man advertising and media agency in Germany.
