Hi, I'm Anja, a Freelance Creative Director based in Berlin with over 11 years of experience working with various agencies and directly with clients. I specialize in developing creative concepts, brand design, art directing and guiding impactful campaigns.

I've had the pleasure of working with brands like Mercedes, Spotify, Bumble, share, Netflix, Zalando, flaconi, Old Spice and Fashion Week Frankfurt.

Currently still in Berlin but from late July, I’ll be based in Bali for a year, working remotely. Despite the time difference, I stay flexible and responsive: daily check-ins are no problem, and I deliver quickly and reliably.

Catch me in between and count me in for your next creative adventure! 🚀
