I have been passionate about design from an early age, which led me to follow a design-focused education from the 10th to the 12th grade. I completed my specialized diploma in design (Fachabitur) in Aachen, Germany.
After graduating, I worked for two years at an advertising agency, gaining hands-on experience in branding, marketing, and print production. Wanting to deepen my skills, I decided to start a professional design apprenticeship, which I successfully completed with top marks. During my apprenticeship at a publishing house and print company, I gained valuable insight into print production while learning to design books, magazines, and covers.
After finishing my apprenticeship, I worked as a Graphic Designer in Aachen, focusing on both digital and print media. I also took on freelance projects, which allowed me to expand my skills and work on a variety of creative challenges.
Now, I’m looking forward to the next step in my career and the opportunity to bring my design expertise to Australia.
Photography is another passion of mine, and I love incorporating it into my creative work. Especially when traveling, I enjoy capturing the essence of different regions and cultures, preserving the unique atmosphere and emotions of each place through my lens. For me, photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling visual stories and conveying the feelings that a location evokes.
