… I’m a 27 year-old German/American Art Director, currently based in Berlin. Before launching my career in advertising at Miami Ad School, I studied “International Business with Spanish” for my BA at Regents University London and “Brands, Communication and Culture” (MA) at Goldsmiths University (in London). I also worked for the renown concert hall “Jahrhunderthalle” in Frankfurt, Germany, as a social media content manager, among other professional work experiences.

Thanks to growing up along the German/French border, I am a fluent French-speaker, and I believe my trilingual (+ basic Spanish) and culturally diverse upbringing might be of great benefit in any future position!

The reason for my pusuit of a career in advertising is, that I would like to creatively communicate solutions to fight social inequalities and problems surrounding us in our every day life.

I believe that it is the responsibility of the advertising industry is to move away from the “old way” things were, and to pioneer and move towards a more inclusive, diverse and just environment, in which we care for each other and our planet! I am also certain that the consumer culture is moving away from mindless consumption, and that the values representing a brand are the driving factor behind which product/brand makes it in the market. Ideally, I would like my contribution to advertising to reflect this!

Outside of advertising, I am a big fan of everything art (hence the website theme)! I also follow nearly every professional sport in Europe and the U.S., and I love travelling and exploring new places.
