Über mich

I'm a storyteller. Nothing excites me more than recognizing the stories that need to be told and discovering the best way to tell them.

As a native English speaker with fluent German, I have worked on global communications projects spanning five continents. My freelance and in-house experience ranges from UX Content Design and Corporate Communications to Lifestyle Magazines and Online News. A few highlights include:

Airbus - Forum
American Express - Centurion and Departures
Bosch - Security and Safety Systems
Dassault Systemes - 3DExcite
Deutsche Telekom - Brand & Design
GoTo - GoTo Meeting & LogMeIn Rescue
MTU Aero Engines - Aeroreport
Siemens - Financial Services
United Internet - GMX, WEB.DE, and Mail.com

With a focus on technology and innovation, I am just as comfortable writing in-depth articles, copywriting and UX writing for a global audience, or screenwriting for international film and video. Using agile project management, I have developed a Scrum-based content strategy to increase revenue by 50% in the first 100 days. And I base my business model on delivering quality that is reliable, scalable, and sustainable.

If you would like to learn what this could mean for you and your organization, I would be happy to hear from you.
