Cover for the free German comic-magazin »Pure Fruit«, issue #18 with the title »Hell int Finster« (»A Light in the Dark«). The magazine pays tribute to the northern German poet Klaus Groth. Various artists illustrated his poems which are all in low-german. 10.000 copies were given away for free to celebrate his 200th birthday.
Porsche Branding
I was asked to do a custom-design for this Porsche 911 GT3 4.0. My client had the idea and we had much fun working on it.
Twice
Dealing with overlaying and merging of color gradients.
Let’s talk about diversity
Equal rights, anti-discrimination and diversity are process-related issues that need to be discussed continuously. Not only but especially a common exchange and discussion about the main idea of the lecture series »Let’s talk about diversity« is essential at institutions to sensitize for diversity and to address individual thoughts and fears. The posters encourage to look behind the curtains of uncertainty and ignorance in order to see the colorful rainbow that represents peace, acceptance, tolerance and diversity.
Light
Without ambient light there is no color
Perplex

Like A House On Fire
As a synesthete, I experience multiple senses simultaneously, i. e. I see digits and letters as certain colors. In a current project titled „Like A House On Fire“ I transfer information from an autobiographic text into abstract geometric drawings through repeated translation. For example, protagonists are identified by their initials, initials are equated with numbers, numbers are split into digits, digits are associated with colors, et cetera. The result are diagrammatic metaphors, which are at once rational and enigmatic, and which shed a new light on past and present experience.
Partially Aware
Between the constant lockdowns due to Corona, categories of in– and outside, private and public the mind keeps jumping between different states of awareness. Locking oneself in certain circumstances while opening to others. More than before structure is what keeps the mind going at ease.
Hey mommy let me play with Jeff Koons’ balloons please
Just a funny acid thing.
We Miss Touch
The human touch is an essential need for every person. Through touch we communicate our feelings and share love and compassion. Due to the hygiene measures of the pandemic we suffer from a lack of physical interaction. The colourful design embodies for me the joy when we hopefully soon hug each other again.
Spots
Spots is a series of 8 riso-prints and a book. Artworks are made by a computer algorithm that was ‘melting’ spots of color transforming them into digital painting. Then all the paintings were separated into three bright colors each and printed on a risograph machine
‘Untitled’
Sometimes an analogue camera jams… Sometimes the lab overlaps negative frames…
Sometime these ‘problems’ create a mutation that works in an acceptable way.
Nature vs Trash
Public Service Announcement!
Any better solutions?
How long will nature prevail?
Going green…
‘Freak Went Flyers’
Upon some of my first times in Berlin, I noticed many bright, alluring, new promotions for parties and events. So many promoted in the same way; on the streets.
After the experience, most friends, myself and others are left feeling wonderfully trashed, broken down and dirty.
When we reflect on those times, only some layers of memory show us what we experienced. Some color; some bright light; some mood, all lumped into one big tattered memory.
‘Untitled’ 2020
A still from a video project with a synopsis that is meant to show a day in the life of an elder Berliner, who reflects on his (early and present) life when faced with the high probability of contracting a government announced dangerous communicable pathogen. Concern, angst, fear and worry cross his mind during the world wide shutdown in Berlin.

‘Circular Ruins’
Promotional image for Berlin based music project ‘Circular Ruins’. The photographic project projects potential cosmical sonic interpretations in the minds of those here on Earth.
Still Life Samples
A monthly routine of daily creation.
Over the duration of the last month of 2020 I created digital Still Lifes and Beats on a daily basis. I chose the medium of 3D Still Lifes because I wanted to sculpt the feelings of the particular day into something that would allow the beholder to discover different aspects about it. Visit Still-Life-Samples.com for the whole experience.
Game Over
Poster for a party at the end of the semester at State Academy of Fine Arts and Design Stuttgart.
NudgeMe Coaching
The corporate design for NudgeMe Coaching is an homage to the precisely drawn brands of the commercial graphic artists. It is a timeless design of the name’s initials. The visual appearance of management consultancies is often conservative, serious and masculine. NudgeMe Coaching stands in contrast to these companies and aims to appeal to young people of all genders. The contemporary visual contrast is created by a color concept consisting of a purple and orange hue. The logo design shows the NudgeMe Coaching company’s initials N and M and is based on a modular system, which can be extended or animated to a pattern.
Furby – you will never know what they say
My childhood was bursting with a multitude of colours – although pink was not my favorite one. Since memories shape our personality, a look into the past is good to understand what defines us as designers today. Right? Also, last year was a very good time to learn something new and have fun with it. I learned 3d modeling from my brother and that our loved ones are the most important thing in life.
