Overview
I have been working as a designer for more than 15 years. After studying communication design in Munich and receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in London I started my freelancing business and haven’t looked back since. I am currently based in Munich and speak both 🇬🇧 English and 🇩🇪 German fluently. I was born in Buenos Aires, so I speak some 🇦🇷 Spanish as well.
As a book designer, I understand the intricate dance between bold typography, minimal design principles, and colourful imagery that results in visually stunning and immersive reading experiences. Whether you’re an established author or a debut writer, I tailor my designs to match the tone and essence of your narrative, ensuring that every page resonates with your unique voice. From captivating and colourful minimalistic cover designs to meticulously crafted layouts optimised for readability, I offer a blend of creativity and expertise.
Let me transform your manuscript into an exceptional piece that captivates readers and leaves an indelible mark. Your story deserves nothing less than the best presentation, and I'm here to make that a reality.

How I work:
🔎 ANALYSIS & RESEARCH
Every cooperation starts with attentive listening, informing and researching. After all, in order for the design to have its maximum effect, it must fit perfectly with the product. For this purpose, I read manuscripts and exchange ideas intensively with the author.
✍️ IDEATION & CREATION
I develop a creative vision and a design concept. In doing so, I generate ideas that I visualise using typography, colours and graphics. With attention to detail, but without losing sight of the big picture. Lastly, I present my ideas and get valuable feedback.
💻 IMPLEMENTATION & DELIVERY
Every idea is only as good as its execution. That’s why I rely on a combination of creativity and precision in my work. In addition, I look for the most sustainable production possible, which ensures that the entire design process is environmentally conscious and resource-friendly.
