I’m a designer and the founder of Typoint – a design and typography studio. I also offer consultancy services in the field of typography.

I’m co-organising the Ignite Talks – Inspiration and New Ideas for Tomorrow’s Evolution, a series of talks on design and society. I love talking to people about how we can shape our future, and you can find these conversations regularly in my column »Zukunft Gestalten« in Grafikmagazin. I’m on the board of the association Creatives for Future.

I’m one of the founders of Fure – The Future of Reading, a design conference that explores since 2017 the exciting world of reading. And i’m one of the two authors of the book Das ABC der Typografie which covers everything you need to know about typography basics.

In the past: I was co-editor of Design made in Germany for more than 10 years and part of Encore Magazine. And co-hosted The Inner Game of Design, a dinner lecture for designers in Berlin.

I had the honor of being a jury member for: Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher, Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung and European Design Award.
