Engineer (B. Eng.), researcher, 3D artist, photo- & typographer and foremost: digital designer (M.A.). Sometimes poet, more often thinker. Most often dabbler. I am looking forward to you and your amazing projects.
Please note: Currently I interrupted my full-time freelancing to pursue PhD studies in media aesthetics. to work as a postdoc researcher at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences in the field of science communication. Still, for current customers and other interesting projects or challenges I am nevertheless available. Let’s get in touch!
A full list of my recent peer-reviewed publications (with a lot of free PDF-downloads) can be found here.
