In the realm of design and business, my journey weaves together creativity with practical application. Starting right after high school, I embarked on a path that led me into the heart of the business world. My entrepreneurial spirit first took root in Germany, where I was integral in building a successful venture, eventually leading to a role as a Global CEO. This experience extended across the United States, enriching my perspective and fostering a lifestyle that embraces adaptability and diversity.
I specialize in connecting the dots between the creative and corporate worlds, merging business acumen with innovative thinking. This skill set has enabled me to resonate with a broad range of audiences, blending analytical and creative perspectives. Recently, my focus has shifted towards projects that intersect creativity with social impact, with the aim of contributing positively to human culture. One of my exciting projects includes a documentary film that will be part of the Lunaprise Moon Museum Missions in 2024, symbolizing my commitment to forward-thinking and cultural contributions.
Central to my work is a commitment to adaptability and a heart-driven approach. I enjoy contributing to projects that foster genuine connections and inspire innovation, whether they are personal endeavors or collaborative efforts within the global impact community.
Embracing Unconventional Challenges: One aspect of my work I particularly value is the opportunity to engage with unconventional projects. I've found that navigating complex challenges or working in high-pressure environments often brings out a different dimension in my problem-solving and creative thinking. These scenarios provide a unique space for innovation and drive, allowing me to deliver thoughtful and impactful results while exploring new possibilities.
Join me on a journey where we don't just design projects but craft a future infused with creativity, strategic insight, and genuine purpose. Together, let's venture into new territories of discovery and innovation.

Listen & Ideate
This is where it all starts: with a keen ear and a vibrant imagination. When I say I listen, I mean I truly hear the unspoken, whether it's the silent wishes hidden within my own heart or the unsaid needs of my partners and clients. Ideas don’t just appear; they gently unfold through attentive hearing and mindful dreaming. It’s a delightful process where thoughts morph into viable, enchanting ideas, conjuring realms of possibility from mere whispers.
Prototype & Test
Here, curiosity reigns supreme. Imagine a playground where every ‘What if?’ is explored with genuine wonder and every ‘Why not?’ is welcomed with open arms. Prototyping for me is not just making; it’s crafting with care, bringing ideas to life in a way that’s tangible and real. And testing? It’s like having a friendly chat with reality, a gentle back-and-forth that helps me sculpt my creations into something that resonates, connects, and truly matters.
Go All In & Finish
And now, the deep dive. Going All In is not about being reckless; it’s about heartfelt commitment to the creation at hand. It’s where every detail is considered, every element is cared for, and everything is done with a clear intention. I don’t just finish projects; I bring them to life, ensuring that every creation doesn’t just end, but begins a new journey, touching lives, telling stories, and making a meaningful difference.
