1000faces is my own brand for digital people illustrations. Through my brand 1000faces, I am creating illustrations for content creators, artists, designers and more. People have since then been reaching out to me, asking me to make custom illustrations of them personally, for them to use in their branding or as a profile picture.

Private Dance Teacher for 8-77 year old students, teaching Modern Dance, Jazzdance, Hiphop and Ballett.

Joined the wonderful Team of Djeeny on their mission to build an AI-powered learning platform. The platform will enable anyone to type in anything they want to learn. An AI will then scrape the web for the most up-to-date, relevant, high-quality material and build a micro course from there. It will be adapted to the learner's learning style and goals as well as their daily-life constraints.

If anyone could learn anything they wanted in a structured, measurable, personalized, inexpensive manner, to the depth and level of expertise they choose - how might that change the world?
Djeeny stands for demonetizing and democratizing learning and regaining curiosity, self-driven learning and a growth mindset.

My role in the cross-functional team is to discuss and design the most user-centric solutions possible, including all levels of wireframing and prototyping, as well as research analyses, detailed UI design and documentation.

Dancer in a Commercial Video, advertising for "Ferrero". Two-day video shoot - on set at night in a Museum.

Instructor for Ballet/creative classes for all ages, from two-year-olds to pensioners.

Teaching students of Mannheim University different styles such as:
Modern Dance, Jazz Dance, Floor Barre, Workout/Stretch Classes and Ballet; as well in-person as via livestream from a recording studio.
I also incorporated my own styles and techniques into my Modern Dance Classes.

Instructor in a female-only health-focused gym.

Solo Contemporary Dancer and Musical Performer (violin, loop station and voice) in "Schaulust" as part of the "Tanzt (a)tonal" performance series at Theater Felina-Areal.

This contemporary piece required me to go to the edge of vulnerability and to show and apply many of my skills. As it was a solo and I was not only in charge of dancing, but also of the music, I had great responsablity.

Scope: 2-month rehearsal phase and three shows.

Worked for an NGO which organized Classical Music events in historical venues in Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim.

I designed their website as well as any products for physical marketing campaigns, such as

• posters
• flyers
• entrance tickets
• program booklets
• stickers
• postcards.

Commissioned by Institut für Sport of University Mannheim to create for and collaborate with artist Ariane Hagl. (The linked video is unfortunately only available in German.)

Created a contemporary choreography for the opening festivity of artist Ariane Hagl's exhibition "Aufgerissen" in the Mannheim castle. The choreography was danced by students at University Mannheim (with no or little previous experience in dance) and led the audience of the Vernissage through the corridors of the castle in which the art was displayed. The central themes of this artistic event included the impact of social media on real every-day life; information as wealth or as burden; "empty" information versus meaning and messages; the attempt of individuals to connect in our modern "information society".
It was thrilling and educational to be working with both young grown-up amateurs as artists as well as an internationally recognized and appreciated artist.

The contemporary dance piece "Heilige Natur", chor. by Luches Huddleston jr. included five dancers and two musicians; me being both, literally at the same time. In the role of a "flower", I played Bach's Chaconne of Partita d-minor while dancing, wearing a circlet, bright orange dress and huge, bright wig in baroque fashion.

The piece was created and presented as part of "Mannheimer Sommer", a culture festival in and around Mannheim. The piece was first places outdoors, in a grassy location in the Schwetzingen castle gardens. It being such a success, we readopted "Heilige Natur" later in the year, for the theatre festival of Nationaltheater Mannheim, this time indoors in NTM.

Engaging with the amazing startup Djeeny, who is pioneering a revolution in the education industry by building an AI-powered platform for self-directed learning, and thereby aiming to democratize and demonetize learning.

Joined Djeeny's cross-functional, dynamic team as a Product Designer with a strong focus on user experience.

Redesigning the interface of "Future Resources", a community and knowledge hub for womxn, female identifying or non-binary people in foresight, strategy and innovation.

My primary task was to do a UI redesign, but as a UX thinker, I ended up making numerous changes in the websites User Flow and even Service Design.

Since I was little, I have always been sketching and drawing faces. People and their individual expression just fascinated me that much.

Now, I set myself the challenge to create one thousand people illustrations in one year, posting them to Twitter.

There are packs of those illustrations available to download, so people can use them in their branding, writing, profiles and more.

Guitar Slides are metal tubes that fit around your finger. Guitarrists put them on a left-hand finger to create extraordinary sliding sounds in their music, that sound like sighs, singing, wobbling... These small slide make a big difference for the music - and the biggest expert for slide guitar playing is "Homesick Mac".

Mac commissioned me as illustrator to create guitar slide illustrations in a comic-like style with faces or monster-like attributes.
From ideating until final deliverables, it was a super creative, unique and niche project that no-one can re-create and that brought me to places I've never been (I'd never thought I would make colored 3D comic-style figures).

I love people illustrations, I love giving anything character, and I love anything were there's unlimited variations of one and the same basic concept.

Designing a responsive website to provide professional mentoring for dancers.

Scope: This project was part of the UX Immersion program at CareerFoundry and was created over the course of six months. The project included every step of the User Experience Design Process, honing in on details in each stage, and analyzing ways of improvement.

Creating an Online Resource for the Ayurvedic Gut Healing Program "The Prime" by Dr. K. Chaudhary.

Tsuki is many things: she's a writer, yoga facilitator, dancer, choreographer, movement analyst and facilitator of dance-related events integrating and addressing the queer community of Berlin and beyond. Classical Ballet and the LGBTQ+-community have never before touched and shaped each other - until Tsuki.

As Tsukis vision and work are moving and address urgent topics of today's social structure, I decided to help her by offering free UX and webdesign consulting.

Tsuki's website started out as being cluttered, inconsistent, insufficiently engaging, informative but not guiding and misleading in visual hierarchy, unprofessional-looking with low-resolution pictures and inconstistent color treatment and decorations, and hard to navigate.

After our "spring clean", which involved in person meetings as well as communication through Loom videos, the website was much more understandable, relatable and professional-looking with a sense of the personal brand displayed.

I didn't re-design or re-built the website, I was just coaching and giving feedback while Tsuki implemented changes.

Nerida Quartett is a virtuose professional string ensemble that is climbing the stages of Europe. One of the violinists happens to be Saskia Niehl - my sister!

Nerida Quartett commissioned me to design their printed advertisement for an upcoming concert series, including Logo Design. As a quartet typically has four players, and all of them have their own vision of branding and the look and feel of their posters, finding common ground was an iterative process. The final designs were calm, modern but not too abstract, inviting and in alignement with the ensembles color preferences.

The quartet wasn't in possession of any brand guideline, so I took over and created some.

I didn't make their website, but feel free to learn about Nerida Quartett by following the link above.

Creating kind of life-like, but also non-finito sketches of human faces.

I started making people illustrations on request, for people to use as profile picture or more.

Maybe things sometimes feel like they're growing over your head and you don't even start because you don't know where to. Or you want to become more productive, or free your mind from planning and organization half of the day?
This template allows you to schedule all the things you work on, learn, create, accomplish. I came up with a whole system to tag and sort these in order to stay on top of things and understand why you're doing what, and when.

I believe you can do just about anything, if you get clear on what you want.

I made various sets of coloful, creative dividers that can be used to design and customize the Notion workspace.

This Worksheet leads you through a set of tasks over a couple of week that help change the way you perceive and manage challenges and expectations.

Suited for hypersensitive people.
This worksheet allows you to practice getting what you want and doing what you love. I invented the flow and came up with the worksheet content.

I curated a spreadsheet containing over 300 foods, categorized, sorted and tagged according to
