About me

I am an experienced multidisciplinary creative director and communication designer based in London. I work with leading agencies, as well as directly with businesses as an independent branding and design consultant.

With an in-depth understanding of brands, corporate identity and brand communications across all media, I have been successfully leading creative teams and programmes for many years.

Applying a holistic view, but also a forensic attention to detail, my strength is to listen and understand to get to the core of each client's brief.
I was instrumental in creating or re-inventing brand identities for Vodafone, Q8, Deutsche Bank, CMS, National Grid, RBS, the International Tennis Federation and the Moscow Stock Exchange.

I have developed the wayfinding system for the National Gallery of Ireland, designed the symbol for the London Congestion Charging scheme and published an award-winning book on the secrets of happiness.

Born and educated in Germany, I hold a degree in Communication Design and an MA in European Media.
