Hey, Hallo, Olá!

Glad, you found your way to my art.

I’m Mandy, an Art Director & feminist.

I live in Berlin & work online - in German, English & Portuguese.

 

My wish:

I want to communicate with you in images.

I want to discover shapes and colours with you and create something new out of them.

I want to inspire your world with what inspires me: Design

– inside and outside.


My vision:

I have nothing to hide, and you?

I believe in collaborations built on trust and those involve going deeper in building a foundation. So, let’s communicate openly to get to know each other and find out who we really are. I’ll perceive your needs and do my best to convey them to the outside world. Close cooperation based on mutual respect is important to me. Not only with us, but towards our environment, and surroundings too.

I see neither in you nor in me a machine that works at the push of a button. That’s because I understand that life goes in cycles. This is no limitation for me, but an absolute super-power. Here’s what I mean by this:

My mission:

Perceive. Translate. Create.

You’ll find my support with your projects through visual imagery. Thereby you’ll benefit from my eleven years of experience in this field. In close consultation, I’ll translate your needs, visions and origin story into communication- and design strategies. My focus is on translating your feelings, thoughts and characteristics into colours and shapes, making them accessible to the outside world.

I offer you:

- Consulting and analysing customer needs

- Conception and implementation of visual ideas

- Corporate design

- Editorial design

- Illustration

- Digital design and screen design

- Production support

 

Empathy. Positive Energy. Trust.

What to expect when working with me is open and honest communication. Empathy means to me: I don't want to change you and you don't want to change me. The positive energy is generated because I approach projects with full passion and little ego. That translates to: I accept your feedback without imposing my personal taste on you. I am all about gaining your trust and getting the best result for YOU.

My Core Values:

1. I practice my profession to the best of my ability and take responsibility.

2. I perceive and respect what is valued for you to achieve you goals.

3. Kindness & respect are very important to me for our cooperation.

4. I like to find extraordinary solutions together with you.

5. I respect that you don't work at the push of a button and that projects have their processes. Good things take time.

6. I’ll handle your projects with discreteness and maintain them confidentially.

What People Are Saying

 

“What I appreciated most in our cooperation was your full service. You do additional activities, like corresponding with the printing company for example. I always find the creative implementation of our agreements very successful and you don't hesitate to offer several suggestions to simplify the process of finding a direction. Your work is always very conscientious and you give quick and reliable feedback. You even remind your me of steps in the process beyond your work. I am completely satisfied with your work and would always recommend you to others.”

— Robert M. / Deutsche Vermögensberatung

 

Mandy is a joy to work with because even when there are stressful creative deadlines, which is often the case in agencies, Mandy is always unfazed and she would calmly come up with multiple creative solutions from different angles.

And not only that, she is very aware of the latest creative trends and has an eye out for what is not only cool, but not been done before for the particular project she would be working with. This brings a breath of fresh air into her visual solutions.

— Winnie T. / Creative Director at Wunderman Thompson

 

‘‘Mandy was able to explain all the steps in an understandable and comprehensive way, even though I had no idea about graphic design. During the process,  she took a lot of time to show me different possibilities. Although she had her own ideas, I never felt pressured to follow them. She always left room to bring in my own suggestions and responded to them. Her confident, calm and well-structured attitude created a relaxed and productive working atmosphere''.

— Thomas S. / K4 Athletics

 

You created a good team feeling (beyond our small team) and were always a trustworthy contact person for all colleagues. You kept your cool even in stressful situations and people could rely on you. You functioned a bit like glue, bringing different people together quickly, because you had a lot of social intelligence.

–Lukas / former Team Partner at Jung von Matt

I like how sensitive you are and how good you are at listening. You are always in a positive and good mood and are bursting with energy and ideas.

— Isabella P. / Womanhood Yoga

 

“I saw your professional way of preparing things already at the first presentation! Your eye for aesthetics and colours is incredible - I appreciate that very much. Basically, it is just a very pleasant way of working, no matter which communication channel. Email… SMS… or voice messaging, you always take your time and quality comes before quantity. Your positive way of taking on projects is a gift! It is your high spirit and enthusiasm to bring creativity into the world that makes the difference. All whilst not putting your own creativity in the foreground, but rather engaging in a mutual journey with your client!’’

— Monafee / Yoga instructor

 

I would say two of your core strengths are your creativity and ability to problem solve. You’re really strong at being presented with problems and then coming up with cool solutions. You’re also very balanced in making good creative decisions that are also very realistic.

It was really good working with you and that’s not easy to come by. You have the ability to put aside your ego and really collaborate on things.

— Kevin C. / former Team Partner at Wunderman Thompson

 

You create that ‘‘feel-good atmosphere’’ in the team.

— Katja B. / BayernLB
