I am a German-Brazilian designer, consultant, creative activist, author, founder of the eponymous studio based in Munich and I believe in the benefit of learning new things as to master your crafts­manship. So far I have learned to design fonts, info­graphics, posters, magazines, books, websites, apps, corporate designs, campaigns, videos, animations, murals and instal­lations. My aesthetic under­standing roots in typo­graphy, my inter­dis­ci­plinary approach is inspired by the bauhaus-philosophy, and i love it when teams are more than just the sum of its members. Which is why i am involved in projects for a good cause, for example with Viva con Agua St.Pauli e.V. in Hamburg and the Typo­gra­phische here in Munich.

My credo is to »be water my friend«, because i found out, that water behaves like crea­tivity works. One of the reasons, why i developed a metho­dology to look at personal and colla­bo­rative workflows, which turned out to be a tool that sees mindset and intuition as team­players and can guide you on your way to »be water my friend«. And do I have a general focus? Yes, branding commu­ni­cation. Why? Because you can not not brand commu­ni­cation.
