Here, you’ll find a collection of projects I’ve had the privilege of working on. Some highlights include creating Google Doodles for the Sydney Summer Olympics, designing the official mascot for the FIS Alpine Ski World Championship in St. Moritz, and crafting a detailed vector portrait of Joseph von Fraunhofer for the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft.

You’ll also meet “Oscar,” a friendly character developed for Seele, along with a quirky cast of characters. Not to forget, some unique logo and crest designs, like the one for entertainer La Toya Jackson.

Every project, whether for a global brand or a personal commission, is approached with the same level of care and authenticity. It’s all about capturing the heart of the brand or individual vision through design.

Feel free to explore the collection, and if something sparks an idea, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to collaborate!
