Learning about nature, being outside and getting my hands in the soil balances me.
Reading
Anything from the Bible to books about pruning — I enjoy learning through reading.
Writing
Writing has been an important tool that has helped me through many phases of life.

New Designs for a Popular Hiking Trail Featuring Five Huts and Scenic Stops
9 of the information panels were designed & produced for a popular and very scenic trail in our region. Here I worked closely with the ‘Wanderweg Wart’ a dedicated retiree who volunteers his time to look after the trail.
We also collaborated on a stand for a sustainable festival on the townsquare of Saalfeld.

Flyer & Social Media Design+Marketing
I designed a double-sided flyer for the district’s annual festival. A standout feature was the inclusive nature of the flyer with three different languages describing the content that was provided by the community. My responsibilities included the visual redesign as well as coordinating the printing and delivery. The flyer was printed on 170g recycled paper, providing a more organic texture and feel.

SRB Beulwitz
Trifold Flyer and Poster Design
For SRB Beulwitz, a youth-led radio show from the Beulwitz district of Saalfeld, I created a trifold flyer and poster. The radio show gives a platform to young voices, many from refugee backgrounds. I was responsible for the visual design, as well as sourcing printing and coordinating delivery.
Flyer and Poster Details
The flyer was designed to include permission slips in three different languages, allowing the children to pass them on to their parents or guardians for signing. It was a fun project, and my own child was even involved. Through SRB Beulwitz, the kids have the opportunity to learn about interviewing, media creation, website development, video and audio editing, and the production of radio shows.

Additional Projects – Honorable Mentions
Here are a few projects from the past five years that I’d like to highlight. They include a quad-fold invitation for a local organic farm, a logo design I developed as a freelancer for an advertising agency, a business card design, and a tote bag design created for a competition — which, unfortunately, I did not win, but greatly enjoyed working on.
Thank you
