I am a German-born graphic designer (for North-America: Art director), type designer, photographer, and educator. I recently graduated from the Master of Design in Type and Media at the The Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, NL. I live between The Hague, NL, and Montréal, CA. I have lived in countries including Brazil, Italy, and Portugal.
In my graphic design practice I ideally work in editorial design, also corporate branding, with a focus on typography. Over the last years, I developed a great interest in type, which I express in my calligraphy and lettering work and type design research. In self-directed design projects I enjoy working with vernacular graphic design and graphic design in socio-cultural and socio-environmental contexts. I work on self-initiated and client-based projects.
My intent in my photography work is to directly document, analyze and question individuals' lifestyles and tendencies in society. I have a great interest in cultural identity research.
Often, my projects are multidisciplinary and combine various mediums such as graphic design, type, prints and photography. I am always interested in collaborating with other researchers in the arts and sciences or other disciplines.
