My objective is to be involved in the creative process of the brand/product/company and to further that process through development and production as well. I wish to combine my gained experience from the field of design, creative and production and to develop myself in the world of commerce, media and products. I would like to work with a team, where I could develop a thought into a full blown strategy and reach as many targets and goals for the company. I believe that using my ability for problem solving, development, managing and being a great colleague I could only add much more to any company.
