I’m a self-employed photographer and digital marketing specialist based in Offenbach, working at the intersection of visual storytelling, web design, and online marketing. Over the past several years, I’ve supported businesses, brands, and creatives with photography, web and graphic design, SEO/SEA, and social media marketing - from concept to execution. My background combines hands-on creative work with solid marketing and business experience. I’ve worked both in-house and freelance as an online marketing manager, photographer, and designer, supporting companies across industries such as e-commerce, corporate services, events, fashion, and lifestyle brands. Alongside my self-employment, I’ve gained extensive experience in marketing strategy, content creation, paid advertising (Google & Meta Ads), and maintaining strong online presences. What makes me stand out is my holistic approach: I don’t just create visuals or websites in isolation - I understand how they fit into a broader marketing strategy. With experience in photography, design, web development, and performance marketing, I can think like both a creative and a marketer. This allows me to deliver solutions that are not only visually strong, but also effective, measurable, and aligned with my clients’ business goals.
