(*1992 in Hamburg) is a Berlin based graphic designer working in the cultural field.
Her work includes applied graphic design, spatial design, web design, and web development, and she mostly collaborates on projects with Insa Deist. Along the way, they are also working together on a design research project called "Composition as Explanation," for which they organize workshops at art schools that thematically deal with language and design.
She has worked with institutions such as the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, the Grassi Museum in Leipzig, the Berlin University of the Arts, and the Fondazione Studio Rizoma in Italy, as well as many smaller projects that have high content value for her.
Currently, she is working on her text "Fuzzy Futures," in which she questions the self-referential authoritarian bubbles of design canons, with the aim of creating new liberated narratives through fictional storytelling.
She studied graphic design in the class of Maureen Mooren at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and the Iceland University of the Arts in Reykjavik. In 2020 she received a diploma for the reading performance of the eponymous text »Bold, slick, simple, clear, my mind« which was an autofictional approach on verbal language in the field of graphic design.
