Communications design

The function of communication design is to transport ordered information. Visual design means to optimize processes and visual offers. Good design is often superficial invisible, but reveals its beauty through detail on a second glance. This is why good design is indispencable for a successful communication.

As a free designer...

… I’ m an expert in creative conception. With my partners and clients I step up to environmental, social, economicaI and technological challenges. I working operational, conceptual and strategical on design ideas and formal aesthetics and implement them precisely.

urban Art & fine Art

Urban art and fine art, balances my design work. Both is determined to each other and is finding its overlaps for example in streetart and illustration.
