Hi, I’m Bernd – Freelance Designer & Creative Director, a cross-media pro creating brand ID experiences for more than 20 years – print and digital.

Corporate & Print Design – creating output with impact.

Kulturjahr NRW & Polen - Abschlussbericht anytroubles Brand ID Corporate Design Webdesign BPW Geschäftsbericht, IAA & Agritechnika Messe Design, Corporate Design, Key Visuals Composings

As a passionate graphic designer across all media I love creating brand identities and corporate designs that resonate emotionally. For me, the key to an efficient branding process lies in balancing enthusiasm with a sense of reality in every project. I strive to develop designs that are catchy, highly individual, and flexible, ensuring they have a strong impact across all channels and that I can be proud of. Sometimes raising the bar, sometimes simply create good things in print projects for annual reports, corporate designs, infographics, ebooks, trade shows, key visuals, and image compositions – it’s in my DNA.

Continuously growing experience for over 20 years and still a passionate design enthusiast, creating impact:// This goes hand in hand with a quick and perfect alignment to your tasks and your brand for an effective design concept or process.This is how I develop ideas and make identities visible

User Interface & Experience and Digital Design

For UX/UI and digital design needs, I cover hard-coded static web pages, WordPress, as well as online collaboration tools like Figma, Miro, and the entire Google Workspace (please forget about Canva!). I design, create, and animate pitch decks or webinar decks, always providing reflection and support for conceptually fluid storytelling when needed. Lastly, I love creating interactive concepts and web designs—a journey that began during my studies and has continuously evolved since. Looking back at projects like brandbook.de (2006), one of the first websites with an interactive customizing process for company notebooks (Flash websites... yeah!). Incredible, where we’re now!

I coded this responsive portfolio page from scratch in html/css with grid and flex. This knowledge allows me to design user interfaces more efficiently and strategically.
