Work

I used to be quite some time at the Technologiestiftung Berlin as senior creative technologist working in the CityLAB project with the best team I’ve ever had the chance to work with. Currently I hold a administrative professorship in basics of visual communication with an emphasis on digital communication at the University of Art Braunschweig.

Freelancer

(since 2008)
Besides the cooperations with Grenzfarben & Forseesense I work as a freelance designer and programmer. I’m involved in the development of youstar.io and I sell script plugins for Adobe After Effects on aescripts.com. From time to time I get hired for some programming work or motion graphics.

Forseesense & Grenzfarben

(since 2008)
While working for Mazooka was fun it still was a lot of work in sales. I decided to move on and had the luck to meet the Sebastian Matthäus and join the Grenzfarben group to produce product catalouges for the retailers like JustMusic and Sound Service. It started out as a job for one catalouge end ended in a long cooperation on catalouges in layout and prepress, the integration of our own media management software (MPO) into InDesign via Scripting and several animated short movies for exhibitions like BMW Junior-Campus, Deutsches Technikmuseum and companies like Erlebniskontor GmbH. Below is an overview of some of the videos we created for these customers.
