Building a global identity requires an interconnected brand system where every customer touchpoint—from product UI to out-of-home campaigns—drives strategic equity. Drawing on leadership experience steering Nike initiatives at AKQA, cross-platform design at Heimat, and now leading as Head of Creative & Brand at N26, I engineer end-to-end brand experience architectures that unite strict product logic with high-impact cultural storytelling. Overseeing our global brand, creative studio, and organic social teams in Berlin, I focus on building scalable design systems grounded in functional minimalism, fluid motion, and seamless multi-channel execution.

To drive operational excellence and enterprise growth, I build high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams that embed AI workflows to accelerate production velocity without compromising brand integrity. Superior brand experience exists at the intersection of systematic rigour, generative technology, and culturally relevant marketing. By establishing clear frameworks across creative pipelines, I ensure every interface, campaign, and content channel delivers a cohesive, customer-centric narrative that elevates the end-to-end user journey and maximizes long-term brand performance.
