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.

Sex, Drugs & Royals 

When I worked for photo agencies, I always admired the work ethic and stamina of press photographers. It’s not unusual that they have to wait for hours, sometimes in the bitter cold or blazing heat for an event to happen or celebrities to arrive. Then they have only a short amount of time to capture the right images while fighting with the neighbouring photographer for the best view and frantically yelling at their photo subjects. Afterwards they rush to their laptops to edit, caption and transmit the photos to their agencies. This job is more challenging and less glamorous than you may think. 

Anwar Hussein is one of the longest-serving press photographers in all of England (probably the world) having covered the royal family, movie sets, rock stars, politicians and many more stories from the late 50s to the present. I was so lucky that my editors would let me visit him in Bristol and write down his life story. His anectodes about London’s Swinging 60s and its heroes, the Queen’s foreign trips, behind-the-scenes- stories on James Bond sets (juicy) and intimate access to rock stars made me want to go back in time and experience it myself.
