Creative Direction entsteht dort, wo Strategie, Gestaltung und Kommunikation zu einer klaren Idee und einer eigenständigen visuellen Identität 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 und Umsetzung auf hochwertigen textilen Wandbelägen.

dolceVita Creative: Büro für Gestaltung + Kommunikation

Wir entwickeln Gestaltung, die Identität sichtbar macht. Mit strategischer Klarheit und gestalterischer Präzision entstehen Corporate Design, Markenkommunikation und individuelle 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 more than 25 years of experience in design and visual communication – from creative concepts and international advertising campaigns to corporate identity, editorial design and brand development. Creative Direction is where strategy, design and communication come together: making thoughtful creative decisions that give an idea clarity, strengthen its identity and support the objectives of the client.

In the summer of 2017, after 14 years in New York City and 12 years on the North Shore of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, I returned to Germany, where I grew up, to care for my father and continue my creative work with new projects and challenges. My years in the United States began with a Fulbright Scholarship and graduate studies in Media Studies in New York, following my studies in Visual Communication in Germany. What followed was an international career spanning more than two decades, working as a designer, artist, Senior Art Director and Creative Director.

In the fall of 2019, I took two months away from my work to walk the Camino de Santiago across northern Spain. Starting in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, I crossed the Pyrenees and continued on foot for nearly 800 kilometers to Santiago de Compostela. Over five weeks, I met people from more than 35 countries, connected by a shared experience that transcended language, nationality and background. Many became what I had learned to call during my years in Hawaiʻi: ʻohana – family.

The Camino reinforced something I had already come to value in both life and creative work: the importance of connection, openness and collaboration. I believe the strongest ideas often emerge when people share knowledge, experience and different perspectives – when individual talents come together around a common vision and create something that none of them would have arrived at alone.

I remain as passionate as ever about design, art, travel and writing. I value the people I meet along the way, the collaborations that grow from those encounters and the opportunity to keep discovering new perspectives, new projects and new creative challenges.

Life is good. Aloha.

Branding + Identity
Development

A strong brand begins from within. It grows from a clear understanding of what a company stands for, what makes it distinctive and how it wants to be perceived. Branding is much more than a logo – it is the visual expression of an identity across every point of communication. dolceVita Creative develops distinctive brand identities and flexible design systems that create recognition, communicate consistently and remain relevant over time.

Contemporary 
Fine Art

Anolani is my online gallery for contemporary fine art, featuring limited editions and thematic series inspired by Hawaiʻi, its history, surf culture and my years on Oʻahu. The work combines photography, typography and graphic composition, bringing historical references into a contemporary visual context. Available on selected materials, each piece brings a distinctive sense of place, atmosphere and story to contemporary interiors and personal spaces. [link]
