About

 

I’m a Berlin based content & communication strategist, wordsmith, and photographer. I believe in the universal power of written and visual stories.

I work as an independent consultant for communication & content strategies, content creation, and campaigning with a focus on political, social, and cultural issues. I bring with me 20+ years of professional experience.

I was a co-founder and managing director of the independent print magazine ROSEGARDEN (2014 to 2018).
I’m a co-founder of A Syrious Look – A magazine about Cultural Displacement. (2015-2017)

I’m a co-creator and co-host at HEISS HEISS, BABY! a podcast about menopause.

I give lectures and do public speaking on independent publishing, creativity, campaigning, and storytelling with gigs so far at the University of the Arts Berlin, Humboldt University Berlin, University of Leipzig, Social Media Week Berlin, Creative City Berlin, and various organizations.

I’m obsessed with everything you can eat or drink. That made me become a part time wine importer for a few years. I wrote for Pipette magazine about natural wine and I’m the creator and host of „staff meal“ – a podcast about gastronomy’s behind the scene topics.

As a self taught fine art photographer I recently presented my work in group- and solo-shows in Germany, Italy and the Metaverse. I’m a member of the international artist collective Pixel Skull.

I’m a founding member of KOMBÜSE – an association specialized in communication consulting for social entrepreneurs.
