Visual identity For All Music Friday, Spotify's first German-speaking music summit, annually held since 2023 as a fraternal twin to the podcast conference the day before, established in 2022.
tightly collaborating with my colleagues at A Color Bright and the event agency OPeNeRS, I have been fortunate enough to be involved in both events from the very beginning as design lead.

Visual branding and design toolkit for the bailoteo party series. Big hugs to niklas perez and the radio sabor team for trusting me with their new party series and the great realisation on-site.
AI-generated images facilitate the monthly process of flyer iterations, as does a simple template system of the vibrant neon papers accomodating any additional information.

GetYourGuide is a leading travel platform for booking various experiences. They invited their colleagues from 17 global offices to Berlin in 2022 and 2023 for their Summit Week, rounded off with a party, the GetYourGuide Festival.

The venture capital firm Cherry Ventures invited its founders and friends to a castle in the hills of Piedmont that summer. The branding of ‘Cherry Retreat 2023’ aimed to inspire and nurture a sense of well-being. Its visuality augmented the inherent Renaissance character of the venue with Cherry Ventures' bold contemporary vibe.

As part of Haufe Akademie’s rebrand handled by A Color Bright, the new social media design system of one of Germany’s biggest learning and development provider is both clear and aspirational. Various templates for paid content are automated as much as possible; vice versa, designers of organic posts can draw from a dynamic palette of building blocks to match their story and tonality.
While working at A Color Bright and their inhouse-podcast studio ACB Stories, i had the chance to design their cover artworks and social media content back to back directly with the journalists and editors.

ACB Stories develop and produce podcasts. Their focus is on news formats and narrative documentary series with topics ranging from pop culture to politics and everything in between. Podcast artworks are interesting blends of the immersive qualities of book covers and the ability of digital thumbnails to function as miniatures.
