______ about Me.

This site is _______.

I'm a designer with a passion for creating beautiful and functional spaces. I've been working in design for over twenty years, and I've had the pleasure of working with some of the best brands in the world. I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with other creatives and bring fresh ideas to life.

My focus is creating spaces that are both visually stunning and highly functional. I believe that good design should not only look great, but also make people's lives better. Whether it's a retail store, a restaurant, or a home, I strive to create spaces that are inviting, comfortable, and inspiring. Not only in the physical world, but also digitally as I explore the possibilities of AI and VR.

Your ______ is precious and I understand that you need to make the most of it.

I'm not interested in wasting your time, or changing your brand, or telling you how to run your business, or any of that nonsense. I just want to make the pictures your business needs to grow. Here is what I can offer you:

I enjoy putting my knowledge of photography to use in lighting and rendering realistic looking scenes.See what I've been dreaming of lately.

I've been working on retail projects for over a decade.

I've had the pleasure to convert a few artist concepts to retail-ready installations, like this one from quinte55enz.More about these projects here..

Never again suffer the embarassment of presenting a beautifully designed store with naked mannequins in it. Peep here.

Embrace new tools. I think human history shows us that it's a survival imperative. My experience tells me it's fun, too. Here are some things I do with AI.

As a kid I was fascinated by all kinds of animation. Now I get to play with it from time to time. Hopefully I'll learn something new that I can use in my work.

years making images with computers

At 6 years old, I started with AutoCAD. I made the invitations for my 7th birthday party with it. I've been obsessed with the possiblities of computer graphics ever since, working on homes, workplaces, and stores.

112 +
hours of youTube tutorials consumed

This is actually a guess - probably even a conservative one. I'm always trying to learn new things and connect new skills to old knowledge. But I'm only talking about 3D related stuff - not the cooking or travel stuff.

years of experience in the retail world

I've been working in the backend of retail since 2012. My hands-on experience producing fixtures and decoration gives me a strong design advantage and a finger-tip feel for budgeting.

Deutsch

Ja, das kann ich auch. Ich habe in Deutschland seit 2018 gelebt und gearbeitet. Es gibt eigentlich kein "plus" im TELC, aber wenn man so gern lernt wie ich, kommt ein bisschen was drauf... oder?

The Yankee in me saves everything in case I might need it later, and the German in me organizes eveything so I can find it when I need it.
