After studying visual communication at the Bauhaus University Weimar, I lived and worked in Paris for eight years, where I also became a mother. There, I worked in a graphic design collective (h5.fr) for museums and brands in the print and online sectors, as well as a freelance graphic designer and photographer (portrait and product photography). My work there included corporate designs, logos, flyers, posters, postcards, books, catalogs, packaging, banners, websites, and many other print and online products, as well as communication materials for internal company communications (e.g., for the Cultural Affairs Department of Hermès). At the same time, I helped organize exhibitions and association work in various arts organizations in Paris, and I also worked for a Swiss publishing house producing multilingual books for children's and adult education. I have lived in Leipzig for 11 years and, among other things, have worked for a publisher of German as a Foreign Language materials, designing teaching materials for children and adults and helping to manage their public image, including at events such as the Leipzig Book Fair. Since 2022, my work has focused on personal branding. A key pillar of this is brand building and individual marketing strategies, from which the professional creation, implementation, and management of online and offline communication materials are derived. In the last quarter of 2024, as a social media manager, I supported a structure for the Common Good Economy and sustainability reporting. In this role, I further developed and managed the online marketing strategy and conducted training for employees to optimize the use of the main platform (LinkedIn) and the necessary software (Canva, Capcut). I am passionate about aesthetics and harmony, as well as striving for excellence. I love finding solutions and have a very high level of self-motivation, enabling me to implement even the fifth revision. My time abroad has also given me a broad range of graphic and strategic approaches to achieving results. My aim is always to develop target group-oriented strategies that can be conceived and implemented outside the realm of conventional marketing campaigns.
