I'm a designer from Austria with a background in visual communication, branding, and digital design. Over the past eight years, I’ve worked across cultural, commercial, and editorial projects—combining strategic thinking with a strong eye for typography, layout, and visual systems. My skill set spans branding, UX/UI design, motion graphics, and creative direction, often bridging analog and digital tools to build clear, meaningful, and contemporary design solutions. What sets me apart is my ability to move fluidly between concept and execution—whether it’s defining a visual identity, designing for web, or developing motion-based storytelling. I’m comfortable working independently or within interdisciplinary teams, and I thrive in environments that value both clarity and experimentation. I've worked with studios, agencies, and institutions across Europe.
