LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
I'm a 26 years old freelance Interdisciplinary Designer based in Hamburg, Germany. I'm combining traditional graphic design elements with bold and modern colors and extensive concepts.
My work is incredibly diverse, ranging from deep social issues, such as racism to branding and quirky aesthetics. I'm always happy to combine diverse design tools, such as editorial, animations, face-filters or illustrations.
Besides the work as a designer I am also the co-founder of "Ladies, Wine & Design Würzburg" Chapter a proud member of "Togo YÉYÉ", and Head of Design for "Educate to Recreate", a sustainable Black Dance Culture knowledge transfer program.
