About

I‘m a Berlin-based creative director and visual artist with a unique style that combines formal reduction and high content complexity. My work dissects our visual habits to challenge socio-psychological processes, with themes that focus on feminism, decolonization, mental health, grassroot democracy, and social utopias. With a BA in Visual Communication and currently studying a MA in Animation, I also work as a partner at Infotext – Agency for Content and Design in Berlin, where I focus on visual development, production, concept art, illustration, data visualization, and infographics. As part of a collective, I am passionate about creating fair, collective, and healthy work environments.
