Over 20 years of exprience with over 30 clients,a craft which I simply love.

Hi, I’m Holger.

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.

In 2007, I moved to the UK and incorporated my business as Basics & Details Ltd, which I ran until 2025.

I’m now based in France, working as a sole trader (auto-entrepreneur).

A wide and varied professional focus

My background is rooted in traditional design disciplines:

  • layout and typography
  • print production
  • image composition and pre-press

In 2013, my work evolved towards social media-driven communication when I began developing and managing the full social media presence for the PÖSSL Group.

This work covered:

  • visual identity for social platforms
  • editorial and content strategy
  • graphic and written content
  • photography and video
  • long-term community development

I worked across several platforms and in German, English and French.

Content and craft

The demands of platform-based content naturally deepened skills I had already developed over many years:

  • photography
  • videography
  • video editing

These disciplines are now integral to my work and are treated with the same care as graphic design.

And: It’s always the Pencil which does the work principle work first during brief, concept and draft before any digital work follows.
