Creative Direction entsteht dort, wo Strategie, Gestaltung und Kommunikation zu einer klaren Idee zusammenfinden. Seit über 25 Jahren entwickle ich als Creative Director Marken, visuelle Identitäten und Kommunikationskonzepte – von Corporate Design und hochwertigen Printmedien bis hin zu internationalen Kampagnen und ganzheitlicher Markenentwicklung. Seit 2023 realisieren wir darüber hinaus großformatige Wandgestaltungen für Unternehmen, öffentliche Einrichtungen und Architekturprojekte – von der ersten Konzeption bis zur Produktion hochwertiger textiler Wandbespannungen.

dolceVita Creative: Büro für Gestaltung + Kommunikation

Wir entwickeln Gestaltung, die Identität sichtbar macht. Mit strategischer Klarheit und gestalterischer Präzision entwickeln wir Corporate Design, Markenkommunikation und hochwertige Wandgestaltungen für Unternehmen, Institutionen und Architekturprojekte. Jedes Projekt beginnt mit dem Verständnis für Menschen, Unternehmen und ihre Geschichte. Gestaltung verstehen wir nicht als Dekoration, sondern als Mittel, Werte sichtbar zu machen und Identität glaubwürdig zu vermitteln. Internationale und nationale Auszeichnungen begleiten unsere Arbeit seit vielen Jahren. Entscheidend ist für uns jedoch vor allem das Vertrauen unserer Auftraggeber und die gemeinsame Entwicklung nachhaltiger, überzeugender Lösungen.

I am a Creative Director with 20+ years experience in marketing and print design: from high-end creative concepts and international advertising to corporate identity and brand development. 'Creative Direction' champions the intersection where 'Art Direction' and 'Design' meet 'Strategy', making well-informed decisions amongst tough choices with its primary concern in making sure to always support the client’s bottom line.

In the summer of 2017, after living for 12 years on the Northshore of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands, and 14 years in New York City, I decided to move to Germany, where I grew up originally, to care for my ailing dad, and to continue my creative work with new projects and challenges. In addition, I decided to start working on a book about my 26 years experience in the US, from when I finished my studies (Visual Communication) in Germany, then moved to New York City (on a Fulbright Scholarship) to finish my Masters in Media Studies, followed by International work experience as Artist, Sr. Art Director and Designer, and returned to Europe 26 years later.

In the fall of 2019, I decided to take 2 month off and walk the “The Way of Saint James”, “The Camino” across Northern Spain. 500 miles on foot, starting in Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, crossing the Pyrenees, 5 weeks on a pilgrimage to Santiago De Compostela. It turned out to be one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life and a time I don’t want to miss. I connected with people from 35 different countries, that all shared a common bond: the passion for the Camino, and became “Ohana” (Family). It was one of the greatest adventures of my life and I promised myself to do it again within the next 10 years.

The Camino is all about making connections and being positive, to see ‘Beauty’ everywhere. I came to understand that the successful philosophy in art and business is to share resources, to collaborate with other talents, to contribute to the overall success of a project through synergy of vision, as well as innovation … to create something new and sometimes unexpected within the process. I am as passionate as ever about my design work, my artwork, my travels and my writing. I look forward to connect with other creatives, ready for new adventures, new clients and new design challenges. ~ Life is really good. ~ Aloha.
