Hi, I’m Bastian – creative director, designer and brand consultant with AI expertise and prompting skills. According to studies, the “About” page is one of the most frequently visited parts of any website. A good reason to tell you a bit more about myself, my experience – and what drives me.

 

I built my expertise at agencies like thjnk, Philipp & Keuntje and SinnerSchrader, collaborating with some of the sharpest minds in the industry. The results spoke for themselves, and many of the projects were recognized with awards. But more than trophies, I’m fascinated by real products and campaigns that make a measurable difference.

 

I create advertising campaigns, design digital products, and help brands build or reposition their identity. Since 2018, I’ve been working as a freelance partner for agencies, companies and start-ups across a wide range of industries.

PERSPECTIVE

Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of team setups, from classic to agile to interdisciplinary structures. These experiences taught me the value of flexibility, clarity and ownership – and how much an outside perspective can contribute. I bring strategic thinking, creative intuition and a hands-on mentality, whether as part of a team or working independently. I use modern tools to optimize processes, evolve ideas and deliver better results. For me, growth means staying open, learning continuously and having the courage to rethink things. Change is often uncomfortable, but especially in the age of AI, it holds tremendous potential.

Driven by // I recharge and find inspiration in photography, mechanical watches, diving, the ocean and meaningful conversations. I value smart thinking and fresh perspectives – whether in TED Talks, podcasts or books like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho or the work of Carol Dweck, Rolf Dobelli or Tim Ferris.
