CV

As a Designmanager I am recently giving academic lectures at the University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg in corporate communications.

In 2008 I was working at Interbrand Zintzmeyer & Lux as Unit Manager
and Design Director in Zurich.

As Creative Director at the mv group from 2006 I was responsible for the clients Canton, Denon, Siemens and VDO Dayton, directing integrated communication on international markets and the agency’s own change management.

In addition to lecturing at Tsinghua University in Beijing and Design Factory International, I managed substantial projects as Creative Director for comdirect, Deutsche Bank, Ision and Media Markt.

As Design Director at Spray Interactive Media and a staff member from its foundation in 1997, I was responsible for the development and direction of the creative department, corporate design and client work. Following its fusion with Razorfish the company expanded to employ 65 people.

From 1994 I worked as a freelance Art Director for highly reputed agencies, both on new business pitches and ongoing projects: DDB, FCB Wilkens, Grabarz & Partner, Jung v. Matt, KNSK/BBDO, Kolle Rebbe, Lintas, Scholz & Friends, and Springer & Jacoby.

Following graduation in 1990 I worked as Art Director for Menzel Nolte Advertising Agency where I expanded my experience in all classic disciplines and at the highest level.

While studying communications design between 1986 and 1990 at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, I also worked as a Graphic Designer, gathering experience at GGK-Düsseldorf on the IBM account.
