Location: Köln, living in a shared apartment
Occupation: University student
Tech usage: iPhone 8, TV
Personality: environmentally conscious, enjoys cooking, pragmaticPain Point:
Julia has recently discovered her love for cooking – especially Asian dishes. But most recipes are for several servings, and her roommate rarely joins her for meals. She often ends up with leftovers. She doesn’t like eating the same meal twice, so the food often ends up in the trash.Need:

He’s looking for an easy way to pick up a freshly cooked meal nearby – without effort, long waits, or delivery fees. He wants to eat better, reduce waste, and save money.

Inbetween is a personal short film that captures the emotional and mental in-between state after spending a long time abroad. Inspired by my own experiences after my exchange semester, the film explores reverse culture shock—the sense of alienation when familiar places suddenly feel unfamiliar, and you find yourself lost between two worlds.Through atmospheric visuals and an introspective narrative, Inbetween delves into the uncertainties, memories, and transformations that come with returning home. A film about arrival—and the question of whether one ever truly returns

Brand Design Project
Childlabour seems to be in fashion. In a world
where consumption equals happiness nearly
every product or supply chain is based on
about 160 mio children doing dangerous and
harmful labour. From fashion or Make-up to
Phones, ironically even tombstones and so
many more.
Most of these children are part of a vicious
circle that it is hard to escape of. Poverty of the
families leads to child labour to earn enough
money for a living. As a result children in
labour can't go to school most of the times
and therefore can't get a proper profession
which again leads to poverty closing the circle.
In this vicious circle several human rights of
the UDHR are broken.
Our campaign "Break the circle!" addresses
everyone to think about their daily life and
what they can change to reduce or actively
stop child labour. We want to show that each
and everyone CAN break the vicious circle of
child labour by smaller or bigger actions.

Art
This abstract painting was created during a university course over the span of six months.
Measuring 180x150 cm and painted with acrylics, the process involved not only the artistic composition but also the physical construction of the canvas itself. From building and stretching the frame to layering colors and textures, the piece evolved organically over time. It reflects an exploration of form, movement, and emotion—shaped by intuition and experimentation.



Tattoo
I’ve spent the past years expressing creativity in a very direct and personal way: through tattooing.Tattooing has taught me more than just precision and visual composition – it’s about connecting with people, understanding their stories, and turning ideas into something lasting and meaningful.This experience shaped my eye for detail, sharpened my sense of aesthetics, and deepened my appreciation for clear communication – all of which now flow naturally into my work as a designer.


I’m capturing photos to visualize how my designs could look on skin. Afterward, I edit them in Lightroom to match the color palette of my Instagram feed before uploading them to showcase the final aesthetic.
