About me

My path has always been guided by curiosity. As a young marketing student, I sought real-life applications to complement theory, leading me to explore diverse fields and roles. I organised non-profit events for over 200 participants with the AIESEC Youth Leadership Organisation, worked on automation processes alongside colleagues from across Europe at Siemens AG, and gained first-hand experience of customer research as a hostess.

One central lesson I learned is this: first give people good food, then talk to them.

On a more serious note, I learned that good, practical solutions don't happen without closely listening to the needs of those who will benefit from them.

Over time, I discovered how much I enjoy visual storytelling, taking ideas and shaping them into engaging, useful and aesthetically pleasing experiences. This passion led me to pursue a career in communication design.

After completing my Bachelor's degree and further certification in UI design, I worked as a communication designer for the German team at Gaia-X, a forward-thinking European digitalisation project. I developed visuals independently, ranging from infographics and factsheets to presentations, social media campaigns, and print materials.

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Sustainable Design Management at the Ecosign Academy in Cologne, working on solo and team projects that combine management, design thinking and sustainable solutions.

I’m currently open to new collaborations and projects.
