As an award-winning and independent graphic and type designer, I combine the expertise of a traditional design agency with the flexibility and efficiency of freelance work. By collaborating with a diverse network of specialists, we meet all the demands of contemporary brands without the fixed costs of agency infrastructure.
This particularly opens up opportunities for small businesses to achieve a high level of graphic design quality that was previously only accessible to companies with larger resources.
With 25 years of professional experience, driven by a passion for aesthetics and communication, I have established myself as a freelance Creative Director and Type Designer. I specialize in crafting distinctive visual communication solutions for renowned brands such as dm-Drogeriemarkt, Primondo, HDI Insurance, Mainova, and Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg — a project that has garnered acclaim with the German Brand and Reddot Design Awards. Similarly, my contributions to the North Rhine-Westphalia state government were recognized with a Reddot Design Award. Many of my logos and trademarks for REWE, Aktion Mensch, Walbusch, and Würth serve as enduring testaments to my craftsmanship and contribute to shaping their public image.
I have also shared my expertise by teaching typography at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and creating typefaces for leading brands such as dm Drogeriemarkt GmbH & Co. KG, Metabo, Harry-Brot, and Aldi Süd USA. Notably, my award-winning type designs FF Sero® and FF Nort™ were launched by Monotype®, while Fontwerk™ proudly hosts my honored Ika™ family.
My creative endeavors have been celebrated with prestigious awards including DDC, Reddot, IF, German Design Award, Communication Arts, and the Art Directors Club New York.
