As the Head of Creative & Brand at N26 (Berlin), I direct our internal Creative Studio, fully overseeing our global brand, creative, and organic social teams. My scope goes far beyond design. It is about orchestrating product architecture, organic social strategy, and cultural storytelling into a single, cohesive brand engine.

Built at the intersection of digital craft and high-impact storytelling, my career spans global campaigns and experiences for Nike at AKQA, cross-platform design at Heimat, and shaping the brand identity of N26. Across every role, I prioritize functional minimalism, cultural relevance, and relentless customer centricity.

As a leader, I focus on building low-ego, multi-disciplinary teams of hybrid creatives who can seamlessly bridge the gap between strict product logic and fast-moving, culturally relevant marketing. I believe a brand’s entire ecosystem should be fluid, deeply rooted in motion, and engineered to scale seamlessly across all channels—from product interfaces to social feeds and out-of-home campaigns.
