Reduce to the essentials!

That is my mantra. Nothing is more effective than explaining complex facts in a simple way.

As much as I stand in for that, I don't apply simplicity to the choice of fields I work in. Due to the rich experience I gathered as Marketing & Brand Specialist at the IT company Swyx there was plenty of room to work in many media. Be it print, online content like Web and Flash, photography and retouching, animations and commercials, writing texts or creating slogans – always all of a piece obeying my mantra tailored to the customers needs.
