THINGS I DO

  • Cohesive visual identities that capture your brand's essence and translate it into every touchpoint. From logo to typography, color systems to brand guidelines – each element is designed to build recognition and drive market presence.

  • Together we define your market positioning, target audiences, and product strategy to create a clear roadmap for sustainable growth. Through strategic workshops and analysis, complex challenges transform into focused brand directions that achieve measurable business results.

  • Standout designs that turn products into shelf heroes and open doors with retailers. My work for successful food and beverage startups has directly led to vendor partnerships through design that demands attention and drives purchase decisions.

  • Digital experiences that users love and that deliver on business goals. With a product owner background and deep UX/UI expertise, I build intuitive interfaces that transform brand visions into seamless digital realities.

  • Strategic clarity for brands and startups facing complex challenges – from social media strategies to product development. Through flexible consulting sessions tailored to your needs, I cut through complexity and deliver actionable direction that moves your brand forward.

At STUDIO–RD we craft powerful brand identities at the intersection of design, strategy, and creative direction. With deep digital roots and a passion for purpose-driven projects, I transform brand visions into market success.

My work spans from nimble impact start-ups revolutionizing food and beverage to global powerhouses like Allianz Partners. Whether you're disrupting an industry or reinforcing market leadership, we specialize in translating your unique value into compelling brand experiences that achieve concrete business results.

ABOUT ME

"I enable brands to find clarity in their strategic and visual direction – for measurable results.”

I'm a passionate strategic thinker with strong conceptual skills and hands-on brand building experience. In the past I’ve been working with major brands such as Allianz, Warsteiner or Sony on brand and digital projects. In 2020 I co-founded the former award winning brand agency DIO Studios. In 2025 I founded STUDIO–RD as a freelance brand designer and creative director based in the heart of Cologne.

In my day-to-day I consult brands on strategic and design topics, facilitate workshops, develop corporate designs, digital products, websites and physical products like packaging designs.
