Back in Germany I worked many years at the creative agency Jung von Matt, mostly in Hamburg. As BMW was one of their main clients, I dealed with numerous projects for them.

For this project we actually got a golden LIAA award back then. It was the very first catalogue for the new Mini range.

Here you can see some of my projects that I gathered up throughougt my freelance jobs in numerous advertisement and design agencies. Because they were usually done in a quite short amount of time they used to be a lot of fun.

For a couple of months I have been working for Tchibo on one of their new products. As Tchibo is quite big in selling non-food (they usually are well known as coffee producers) of about 70% of their turnover and they introduce every week another range of new products, we had to be quick and witty at the same time. Also being a traditional company and brand made it quite a challenge to come up with something right in such a short time.

Sometimes it's just visualising items for an unimaginative client. Which for some reasons (being a visionary maybe?) I do enjoy.

Another lovely little project for 2GH in Hamburg - stationery, logo development and some ads for Truscon.

This was my very first project - and the most secretive one. For a couple of weeks we were divided from the rest of the agency (a German Young & Rubicam branch) to do work on something for Sony that nobody was supposed to know about.

VCCP was one of the agencies I enjoyed most working at here in London. A tremendously professional studio manager and my very first aquaintance with a night shift in an agency had quite an impact on me. O2 is one of their main clients, so I did some small jobs for them.

This was my very first own client. It was fun, bold and an amazing client to work for.

At VCCP again I worked on a lovely German product - Muller yogurt. Funny, how different brand images are in other countries.

Sometimes I am "just" a fire extinguisher. Booked for a couple of hours or days I will have to salvage the work of weeks or correct made mistakes with a fresh eye. I always love these jobs as they show my flexinility and professional distance to the given tasks. No worries, I'll kill your darlings for you if you can't.

This was a job in which my Photoshop skills were beneficial. Having learned in a post production company I am capable of practically enchanting all kinds of images.

A small design office near City Road booked me a couple of times for some work for Garnier and Schwarzkopf. One of the projects was to create some franchise presentation folders for hair salons.

Thomson - which is called TUI in Germany - was a challenging and fund client. The perception depended on the job. One of the fun projects brought me an award.

Being the sole inhouse designer at Peabody Trust was actually my very first job in UK since I moved. I was everything - production, creation, client, designer, admin. Because of the lenght of time I worked on quite a few projects.

Sixt was one of the traditional clients with Jung von Matt in Hamburg. Over tens of years they worked together, creating some of the most hilarious campaigns. It was always very satisfying for me to see the end resluts of my work for them.

Ikea opens every now and then a new megastore in a town somewhere. So it makes sense to create campaigns that are locally aiming at potential customers.

2GH, a small Hamburg agency, had clients like Ikea and Kappa. Sometimes I would come and work for just a couple of days for some of their clients.

I think this was a pitch of a small new agency back then in Hamburg, to gain a subversion of the big Bild in Germany as a new client. Hence the very silly and attraction provoking ides. We had very much fun looking for the right pictures.

Another project for a small Hamburg agency - a pitch preparation for a large local newspaper.
