I'm a modern day dame who loves design, paper and music. I focus on publication design and branding. Twenty years of experience have honed my skills in concept development, graphic design, layout, type setting, typography, print production, consulting and art direction. I prefer working intuitively — in a small team at eye level. Design is thinking.
› shape
My design know-how was developed above all at the home of Bauhaus ― the University of Weimar in Germany. I am passionate about minimalism, modernism, colorful geometric shapes and good words. Visionaries such as Unimark, Paul Rand, Otl Aicher, Peter Zumthor, Sofia Coppola, David Lynch and Tomato inspire me.
