Time to Grow
My Illustration is about one aspect I have been noticing a lot of on social media during quarantine. Everyone is hell bent on self improvement during quarantine and while that is a honorable goal I want to remind people, that growing is not a race and sometimes surviving and feeling the sun of your face is all you need.

Black and white print on red paper.
Red alert color.
The poster was designed in the second edition of the “GRAFICY MEDYKOM” campaign. The participants’ task was a graphical support for doctors during the coronavirus pandemic. The posters were to show how necessary it is to follow the rules of hygiene and safety.
serendipitous wayúu culture
Wayuu textil accessories with exotic patterns and striking color constellations, such as bags, blankets and armbands are created by the Wayuu, an indigenous tribe in North of Colombia. The textiles are well known for its high quality tailoring technique, which are made entirely by hand.
I researched a way to reproduce the color constellation of those accessories with creative coding in Processing. An unique pattern is weaved every time the program is run.

Danaë 2021
The artwork Danaë 2021 refers to the ambivalence of loneliness. On the one hand, loneliness is frightening and can lead to depression. The social isolation during the current pandemic has again obviously demonstrated us this. On the other hand, loneliness can also be a kind of spiritual relaxation in which you can gather new strength, rearrange your thoughts and foster creativity.
Although the digital world helps us to stay in contact with our friends and family, but it will never replace a real meeting, especially a hug.
An oder to my youth and homage to growing up
I’ve always been some kind of hopeless romantic. I follow whatever ignites my light and for some reason colour is something I am very drawn to. The realization you expect as you get older is to feel some sort of calm in everything. Nevertheless I don’t feel the need to calm down when it comes to colour. It was my first real love and an ode to my youth coupled with a homage to growing up.
Love What You Love
The question of someone‘s sexual orientation should be as unproblematic as the question of your favorite vegetable or which fruit you prefer. Love what you love!
75 Years Landjugend Plainfeld
»Hau di her, samma mehr!« A saying in heavy austrian accent, roughly translated as »sit down and join the party«, that everyone in Austria knows and is almost representative for a celebration. As a result, it fits perfectly as a leitmotif for the 75th anniversary party of the »Landjugend Plainfeld«. Here is a first insight into the extensive design that we created on the occasion of the anniversary.
3.14 Bags
The desired geometric minimalism in product design was continued in staging in order to receive colorful and meaningful product photos for various advertising purposes.
Please Madame – Young Understanding
Please Madame is an Austrian pop-rock band who wanted to be loud with their fourth album “Young Understanding”. This also had to be reflected in the design.
Large, colored areas that address the youthful topics of sex, alcohol and partying without a lot of extravagance, also visualize the extravagance that characterizes youth. To be different, revolutionary, rebellious and not reticent. Combined with the specially made, strong symbol, which consists of the initials P and M and now functions as a logo, the result is a cover in which young people can find themselves and also feel understood.

It’s so sad that CMYK print media can never fully embrace the vibrant spectrum of the RGB scale.

With Brexit in the UK, we are confronted with having to understand that everything works better together and that separation is just an excuse for hatred. We are all equal.

Shapes & Colours – Digital & Analog – Mistakes & Conscious Decisions
How to design shapes and select colors? All elements of this graphic are based on a photo. This photo was reinterpreted and abstracted by misinterpretations during loading by the computer. This resulted in countless shapes and color codes, on the basis of which I created a new design. The result was an interplay of digital and analog, of mistakes and conscious decisions.
Posters for En Sommerdag på Bellahøj 2019
The outlying Bellahøj district of Copenhagen is characterised by suburban building-block aesthetics. However, few know that hidden in this area is a flourishing amphitheatre that plays host to a music festival. We have emphasised this unique aspect of contrasts in the posters we created for ”En Sommerdag på Bellahøj”.
The abstract forms and shapes mimic the surrounding scenery and combine with bold colours to set a vibrant mood. There is a nod to the tradition of silk-screen printing in the combination of magenta and orange that create the poster’s bright red colour. We have also used this detail of overprint within the typography, Lars-Bold Extended, drawn by Mads at Bold Decisions.
sisters in wine club
‘Sisters in wine club’ is a wine edition from the Bernhard winery from Wolfsheim, that was launched on the international women’s day. The idea behind this project was to show female diversity in all its beautiful facets. The result is five wines and matching designs each as different and colorful as are women. Bright colours and clean lines are the connecting momentum of all designs. The illustrations each take up the distinctive nature of unique women characters. They are expressions of female individuality and self-confidence. The characters convey a playful awareness of their very own strengths, making you feel the enriching value of diversity.
