Hi, nice to meet you!
My name is Luisa.
I’m a freelance communication designer and visual artist from Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
Growing up between two cultures I’ve always experienced the importance of building bridges at first hand. My passion for understanding and connecting seemingly mutually exclusive concepts and ideas is reflected by the way I work. I believe that visual communication as such has no borders. Therefore I don’t make a distinction between working on free projects or specific corporate challenges as long as it follows a sophisticated concept.
Apart from engaging in creative work, I’ve developed a strong interest in consulting social startups and other inspiring entrepreneurs from all over the world in the areas of design and communication.
