Hello,

I’m Markus, a Munich based creative director and designer with industry experience from Australia, the U.S. and Germany.

My passion for design, non-traditional ideas and emerging technologies have been evolving throughout my 25-year career. I am constantly striving to bring innovative ideas to life with smart solutions and human-centric design tho create meaningful connections between brands and their customers.

This has led me to do some amazing things over the years. Like an office opening in the metaverse. Or the building of 10 feet tall letters that were part of an engaging AR experience. Or the concept and design of an iOS mobile game, with fart noises and animated avatars. Or the brand development and design of a jewelry line. Or the packaging design for wine and cosmetics brands.

I’m grateful to have collaborated with so many great colleagues and clients over the years. I am always looking for new opportunities to help brands reach their full potential. And if necessary, tapping into a network of top talent across the globe to deliver the best possible results.

Let's talk and create something amazing together.

"Markus is an insanely talented designer and conceptual creative. He's able to think in big brand platforms for clients, and is so good at matching them up with new technology to create beautiful, press-worthy ideas. He'll show you something in the morning, and have a working prototype by the afternoon. Markus, how are you doing that? Anyway! He also pushes the work while always being a super nice guy. One of the best. I hope this isn't a spoiler but he has an awesome German accent, too."

"Over the nine years I worked with Markus I discovered that Design Director merely scratched the surface of his abilities. Yes, Markus has impeccable design skills that flow seamlessly across digital and traditional, but what I really found Markus to be skilled at is problem solving. He rarely took projects at face value as he was always trying to figure out how to elevate the assignment to something better. Whether that was the design of an entire website, a rich media execution or a mobile experience, he would find a way to raise the bar.”
