I am a communication designer and art director living in Nashville, Tennessee. My focus is on branding, web design and print design.
In Germany I worked for four years for one of the leading Public Relations agencies, Fink & Fuchs Public Relations. After immigrating to the United States I worked for one year as a freelance designer in Chicago. In 2005 I was employed by Bill Hudson & Associates in Nashville. I worked there as a Senior Art Director on several accounts before I started as a multimedia designer at Gaylord Opryland in October 2005. I was the leading web designer at Gaylord Hotels' Brand Marketing team from June 2007 to November 2008. Since December 2008 I am with Journal Communications where I am the Web Design Director since March 2009.
