Where art meets education: I transform complex ideas into visually engaging experiences.
My journey spans fine arts (Master’s equivalent, Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe) to clinical psychiatry, where I spent 10 years as an Occupational Therapist. This unusual path taught me that great content isn’t just beautiful – it’s accessible, intuitive, and psychologically informed.
My toolkit includes:
• Multimedia design (Adobe Creative Suite, video production, graphics, SketchUp and more)
• Educational content creation & instructional delivery
• Visual storytelling that simplifies complexity
• User-centered design principles from therapeutic practice
• Cross-cultural sensitivity (experience across Europe and 16 countries worldwide)
At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, I created presentation templates, video content, and visual materials. In clinical settings, I have been teaching therapeutic topics to university students, work mates and clients. Now expanding into e-learning and design with modern content software.
German native, C1 English proficiency.
