Hello, let me
introduce myself
My full name is Sandra Mawuto Dotou, I'm a 25 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 am also always happy to combine diverse design tools, such as editorial, animations, face-filters or illustrations.
I have a bachelors degree in Communications Design at University of Applied Sciences Würzburg and am currently on my masters degree in Integrated Design at the School of Visual Combinations at University of the Arts Bremen.
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 working with Julia Sukop and Eva Dietrich on the realisation of our anti-racism exhibiton concept "Escape Racism International".

RANDOM FACTS:
I would always choose food over everything. I like cats and dogs equally, but I also think people who dislike cats, just can't accept boundaries. Dancing around and casually singing about what's in my mind is a huge part of my daily life. I'm pretty good at improvising. I keep my pc folders super organized, but can't apply the same discipline to my own closet. My music taste is stuck between 90s R'n'B and 2000s American Highschool Movies Punk Rock and can't remember song lyrics, even if my life would depend on it!
