Hi there! 

I'm an Austrian-born Visual Director passionate about transforming brands through Visual Branding and Editorial Storytelling. Based in Munich, I help international clients find their authentic visual voice through strategic Creative Direction, Photo Production, and narrative-driven campaigns.

From concept to execution, I blend Photography, Motion, and Brand Identity expertise to create compelling visual narratives for brands, magazines, and companies. My work spans Editorial Photography, Art Direction, Visual Content Strategy and back-to-back Photo Production for clients across Europe and beyond.

Experience includes:  Condé Nast, photo agencies in Germany and New York City, and international creative marketing teams working on global brands such as BMW and Volkswagen Group. 

My journey began at a local radio station in Graz, where I discovered my passion for Editorial Storytelling and pop culture – a driving force that continues to shape every project.

Christoph Waltz


This cover shoot took place during the pandemic but thankfully not during a lockdown. Still, we had to shoot with a downsized team but at this point even Hollywood stars were used to it and didn’t expect a major array of people. Julia Noni was the commissioned photographer for the production that took place at the Berlin philharmonic. 

The cover theme was about new beginnings of a post-pandemic world approaching spring time (the shoot took place in the dead of the winter though, nobody felt spring-y), so we wanted a positive cover vibe despite featuring a Hollywood actor known for its dark, sarcastic humor. Challenge excepted. 
We had the idea of incorporating a singing bird, more precisely a bright yellow and gleeful canary bird, on the cover as a symbol for music (see location) and spring (new beginnings). 
Problem was, we couldn’t get a canary bird (apparently, they are very sensitive and not the best “props” for photo shoots), so we got a – dove. 
We still rolled with it – even if the visual metaphor slightly changed from spring to….peace?! The dove was a real pro – so was Christoph Waltz who didn’t wince once even when the dove pooped on his pants.
