About me

I am a creative director, executive, founder, idea man and doer.
I started my career in 1997 at the age of 18 as a self-taught designer.
In 2008 I became Creative Director and five years later Chief Creative Officer of Grey Germany.
In 2014, he was elected to the "40 under 40 to watch" list by Wirtschaftswoche - Germany's most important business magazine.
I am a long-standing member of the Art Directors Club for Germany and have been responsible for more than 400 national and international awards in the past - including 29 Lions in Cannes and 12 Effies.
I am a regular member of national and international juries, including the Cannes Lions, the Clios, ADC Germany, and more.

In January 2020 - 3 months before the pandemic - I founded the creative studio The Lakehouse with my two partners Kim and Daniel.
