About me
My practice originates from and serves the European Green family. I have been using and improving my competences as a creator, campaigner and educator for over 10 years. I have worked with green political and non-governmental organisations from South Caucasus to Scandinavia to Malta.
My work as a creator: I have created lasting brand identities for organisations such as the Federation of Young European Greens and events like the European Ideas Lab. I feel honored that the European Green family embraces my vision and aesthetics and allows me to make the Green revolution look nicer.
My work as a campaigner: I have conceptualised, produced and coordinated several pan-European crowdfunding and political campaigns from #FreeInterrail to Green it! Campaign – raising funds for this very platform.
My work as an educator: As a green activist, I have learned from my peers and I’m always eager to transfer my knowledge to everyone who thinks they can learn from me. I have offered my insights on green political campaigning, framing and (visual) storytelling and am always eager to stimulate reflection and exchange on these topics.
My skills
Why you should work with me
I use 'design thinking' as my main guiding approach to projects. I put a non-linear, iterative process in place that helps me to understand target audiences, challenge, redefine problems and create innovative solutions. I involve my clients at every step of the way and cooperate closely with them to make informed choices.
