1. What was your very first job? What does it feel like to look back at it now?
My first advertising job was as a junior creative at TBWA Hamburg. My very first job was being a performer and singer at the State Opera House in Hamburg when I was 8 years old. There was a lot of drama... in agency life of course.
2. Please describe, in your own words, what your current job is and what work it entails.
As a creative it is my job to inspire people and be inspired by them. In the last 2 years I had the opportunity to work even closer with bookers, agents, producers and photographers. Kinda like a connection between Art Direction and Art Buying. Best of both worlds.
3. How did you discover that the creative world is right for you? Was there a time in your life that you credit to this discovery? Which train of events did bring you to where you are today?
I had my 1st school internship at my cousins office which was a post production. I've always been into art. So when my cousin introduced me to Photoshop she opened new dimensions to me.
4. In your constantly growing and expanding industry, how and where do you usually find inspiration to keep your work fresh, innovative and relevant?
I go outside, connect to people, stalk on instagram, flip through magazines, watch youtube... I don’t push to be inspired I just let it happen.
