Teaching

Since 2018 I am a lecturer at the Muthesius University for Arts and Design in Kiel, Germany. I teach 3D Motion Graphics with Cinema 4D at the Information Design department. Every semester I offer two courses to select from: A beginner class where the students can go through the motion design process step by step and at the same time learn the basics of C4D and a more advanced class in which own projects are supervised or executed with my assistance.

Usually there are between 10 and 15 students in my basic course so I am able to dive deep into individual interests or approaches towards design. Also I really like to involve workshops, design sprints and video analysis to convey a deeper understanding of the whole motion design process.

Mentoring

Since 2021 I am frequently booked as a design mentor and consultant during hackathons, brand developments or start-up founding processes.


In the first step the process of design consulting and mentoring most importantly involves listening and learning on my side. I need to capture the whole picture of your own visual personality and the journey you want to go with your target group.

Next I like to use workshops, supervision sessions and evaluations so I can sketch out all the little details of your brand’s identity and visual voice. This will ideally result in a visual concept that will fit your demands but also will perfectly communicate with your clients in the end.


I am happy to provide a strong network of talented people in all kind of crafts and media so you can focus on what really matters to you and your business while your strategy will be in good hands ︎
