ABOUT

I am a paper engineer from Berlin Germany, designing pop-up books, greeting cards and paper artworks for clients like Prestel Publishing, MoMA, Dorling Kindersley, 2 to Tango and many more. 

I have created the pop- up book „Creatures of the Deep. Ernst Haeckel“ for Prestel Publishing which has been selected as a finalist for the 2018 Meggendorfer Prize and the „Shimmering Snowflake“ holiday card for MoMA, which won a Louie Award. Since 2015 I am teaching a pop-up class at AID Berlin (Academy for Illustration and Design).

My studio is in a factory loft in Berlin Kreuzberg, which I share with freelancers from diverse creative branches.
