Education & EXperience
I design & realize websites, data visualizations and interactive graphics.
Being a web designer with a background in traditional graphic design, my websites focus on a clear structure and balanced typography.
Since studying visual communication, I have 20+ years of experience working as a creative coder in the context of agencies and freelance projects.
I live in Berlin and work freelance.
Portfolio
Find below a selection of websites and interactive graphics I designed, built and maintain for clients.
Being a designer with coding ability, my tool stack combines design tools (Figma, Adobe CC), CMS-systems (Wordpress, Webflow) and a code editor (Visual Studio Code).
In my design process, beside attention to details, responsiveness is particularly important to me.
If required I may also deliver assets like renderings in Cinema4d or interactive data visualization using flourish.studio.

Development of a javascript based browser tool that allows graphic designers to create interactive images without coding.
After uploading a background image, users define areas of interest by placing markers onto the image. For each of these areas an info box is created into which users can enter a headline and additional information as well as an image. The interactive image is exported to a single html file and embedded into websites. The tool was used by designers working at welt.de to build interactive stock charts, maps and illustrations.
