"As an all-round designer I have an eye for detail. You can clearly see that in my work and my method. I am critical but also involved. For me, every project starts with a clean sheet of paper and listening carefully to the client. Together we look at where the real need lies and then realize that to a beautiful end result. That is the goal, but a successful project is more than just the end result. It's about good synergy within the team, working with external advisors and unburdening the client."
