Hello! I am a designer, illustrator, and strategist. I specialize in combining the visual language of branding with design thinking and ux strategy.
I am the creative director at the Field Office, which I founded in Berlin in 2008.
Since 2010, I’ve written for the Berlin-based publisher Gestalten, where I contribute an artist’s perspective to their books about visual culture.
My webcomic, aforeigncountry.com, interprets everyday life from the past as found in old newspapers and photographs.
While living in Berlin, I produced a series of video diaries that created a layered portrait of a time and place in the city.
