Curriculum Vitae
I have seven years of professional design experience as a design consultant and more than 16 years of working in public relations and communications. This background helps me to quickly create effective flows and design user-friendly solutions that create value. For me, communication and design are very closely related – even though methods and tools are somewhat different. I passed all my three semesters at the "Mobile Creative Programme 2015" at Hyper Island with a "Distinction degree".
