I am a freelance designer based in Cologne, Germany, working across disciplines to create thoughtful and engaging visual identities and experiences. 
           My passion lies in exploring the complexity and diversity of design, with a particular focus on projects related to food, dining, and wine. These fields allow me to blend my love for culinary culture with my design expertise, resulting in unique work that connects brands and audiences—both emotionally and visually.
