My academic background is in art history and I have worked as a curator at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt and the Brücke-Museum in Berlin, where I realized major exhibitions on Modern Art.

I have continued to write and speak about art in many forms, including academic essays, exhibition catalogs, and opening speeches for museums and galleries.

My work has covered artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Bonnard, Munch, van Gogh and the Expressionists, as well as Lotte Laserstein, Mary Heilmann, Katharina Grosse, and the alternative art scene of the former GDR.

In addition, I received training in online marketing and expanded my practice to include brand-focused writing. Although design often takes the spotlight in branding, language is equally important. Words shape a brand's voice and personality. For this reason, I pay close attention to verbal storytelling in projects for artists, cultural institutions, and small brands.

My goal is the same whether your audience is an expert in your field or someone discovering your work for the first time: to shape language that connects. If you have a story to tell, I happy to help you find the right words. Contact
