Creativity is for me key - i t is the r ight idea that

adds that extra dimension to each design.

I t is f air to say that I am a transformer - not

only visually but also in the way clients

see their own brand and product.

Design and i ts magic propensit ies, in

the r ight hands, can truly open the

door to the magic garden.

I am equally at home with branding,

consultat ion & stakeholder engage-

ment as well as deliver ing strong

presentation and bid documents to

keep your business growing.

I have got an excellent eye and feel

for design and typography.

I l lustrations is a strong aspect of my

design capabil i t ies. I am a prof icient

drawer and draughtsman as well as a

published car toonist .Although I l ike drawing the old

fashioned way I am very experienced

in using all relevant design and

i l lustration programs. I am German and came over to

l ive in the UK in 2003.

A F E W WO R D S

For 22 years now I have created designs for very diverse

clients and products. Every year with new challenges

and lessons lear ned, ever building up this inner

reservoire of graphic ideas and styles.

To really tune in to the cl ient’s needs is probably the

most important thing - i t takes exper ience, intuit ion

and a genuine interest in people to really get to the

bottom of a br ief and project. I t is then easier to add that

extra bit beyond the cl ient’s expectations.

Project Centre Ltd • Apr il 2007, ongoingSenior graphic designer

Project Centre is an expanding, mult i-award winning Urban Design

Consultancy with 100+ staf f . Parent company NSL has 5000

employees UK wide.I am responsible for al l aspects of graphic design and branding,

both for inter nal and exter nal publications.

It is difficult to list all types of designs and graphic related products

I have created at Project Centre.

I lead on the complete rebrand of the company in 2009 as well as a

soft design relaunch in 2016.

The most signif icant aspects of my work are:

Design of Public Consultations and Stakeholder Engagement

PCL have a wide var iety of public sector cl ients with long standing

contracts e.g. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, LB

Isl ington, LB Ealing and LB Waltham Forest to name just a few. PCL

designs and builds public spaces, and i t is my responsibil i ty to

design the consultat ion documents. Often this includes extensive

mapping. Over the years I have gained a reputation in the industry

for the high quali ty and clar i ty of consultat ion documents.

I t was due to this that I was seconded to the Olympic Author ity

(LOCOG) in 2011 to create consultation maps for 14 Olympic venues

which appreared on the official Olympic website as well as been

printed in excess of 300K for local households.

Design of high impact bid & tender documents as well as

successful award submissions

New business is a crucial par t for the growth of a company. Tenders

are produced on an almost daily basis. Our 2 designated bids

of f icers ask me to create tenders and PQQs for par ticular

important, mult i-mil l ion pound contracts. The success rate is impressive and we have repeatedly received top marks on quali ty of the submission.

Over view of other graphic work deliveredBrochures, maps, exhibit ion stands, website, school travel plans, e-zines and staf f magazines, mail ings, poster and ad campaigns, brochure and magazine design, greeting cards, i l lustrations, info graphics and diagrams, powerpoint presentations, incentives, corporate design, logo design, stakeholder engagement games, creating word templates for bids and reports, curating the image database and leading on cl ient feedback. I receive daily trouble shooting request from our dozens of engineers for word templates.

I do a lot of var ied work for our mother complay NSL (5000 employees).Responsibil i t ies range from Innovation campaigns to logo design, web interface design to info graphics and photo ar t direction.Key projects and achievement Mapping for 14 Olympic venues Winning bids for a dozen multi-million pound contracts (e.g. Mini-Holland contract for LB Waltham Forest, 20mill ion) Best practise defining, bench-mark setting publications for local authorities Building strong work relations across the company and client base

Blue Herring Design, Freelance • March 2012, ongoingDirectorOffer ing the entire range of graphic design.

Mouchel Parkman • April 2004 to April 2007Senior graphic designer

Mouchel is a mult i-disciplinary consultancy for the transport and

engineer ing sector. I joined the ‘Parking Project’ par tnership of f ice

with LB Isl ington, fresh after my arr ival from Germany.

The task was to create engaging public consultat ion documents and

exhibit ion boards for 2 dozen controlled parking zones in Isl ington

as well as Matchday arrangements for Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

What must seems l ike a bor ing assignment was really a great

opportunity and challenge. The more mundane the matter, the more

important clear and engaging design. The designs were very well

received and the response rates were over average.

I received Mouchel’s excellence award 2006 for a client engagement

game I designed. Other responsibilities included:

Games design (board game and arcade computer game), brochures,

public consultat ions, exhibit ion stands, mail ings, poster and

ad campaigns, brochure and magazine design, school travel plans,

greeting cards, newsletter, school travel plans, business report,

i l lustrations.

I was our of f ice’s innovation and best practise representative,

reporting to panels across the country.

Drawing Teacher in evening classes • 1995 - 1999Portfolio advise for ar tschool, changing weekly drawing topics.

Steiner School teacher training • 1996 - 1997Being an admirer of Rudolph Steiner and his achievements, and a curriculum based on the arts, this seemed a natural choice for me. I also love to work with people and children (having now 3 boys of my own), so it all seemed to fit. The quality of the lessons we received at the Steiner training centre was truly outstanding. At the end my love for design and fine art prevailed.
