design exploration

Stripe, an online payment infrastructure, runs on complex, yet creative lines of code. Stripe’s world is clean and customer friendly yet we are made curious about the digital world below the surface.

Schwarzkopf rebranding

My team and I won the Schwarzkopf rebranding pitch. I was there from start to finish, helping define the style, coming up with design systems and setting-up the brand guidelines.

industrial internet of things (IIOT)

I have been the brand guardian of Henkel’s Loctite Pulse for about two years. A relatively small B2B client but with very clever IIoT solutions used by factories around the world. Nerdy!

various projects for DEUTSCHE BAHN

Over the past years I executed several smaller online campaigns for Deutsche Bahn. Staying within the realm of DB’s corporate identity I was able to create new worlds for different campaigns and target groups. From designing Bahnhof floor stickers to social media campaigns for My Bahncard. Chu chu!

socially engaging design

Traditionally, design communicates in one direction, from the medium to the receiver. Throughout my career I like to make little experiments and try to involve the target group and let them become part of the creative process. From passive audience member to creative collaborator. As Jacques Rancière calls it: emancipating the spectator!
