Nice to meet you.

I’m Philipp and I work with teams to develop visual worlds.

My background combines spatial and generative design at onformative in Berlin with five years at PlusOne in Amsterdam, working on projects for clients including Adobe · Asics · Optiver · SPDRs · Samsung · Philips.


My focus has gradually expanded from individual images and films toward how a visual idea can establish its own language and evolve across different formats and environments. Combining generative exploration, visual direction and hands-on craft, I work closely with teams from early exploration through production.

Brand Expressions

New enough to shine.

The most visible pieces: campaign visuals, launch films and product imagery. I work closely with your team, from the first reference to the final frame, so that each piece feels new and still clearly yours.

Visual Systems

Clear enough to last.

Work made months apart should still read as one. Rather than one-hit-wonders I build the system beneath — visual rules, geometric components and motion behaviours. Making sure the next piece starts from a solid base. And collaborators can keep producing exactly whats needed.

Spatial Media

A brand catching the room.

Physical space is one of the few places a brand still gets undivided attention. Making the most of it takes someone specialised. A foyer wall wants ambience, a stage wants tempo, a tradeshow screen wants its own approach entirely. Initially we visualise and prototype, so those decisions are made early. And I come on site to dial in the final piece.

Spatial Media

Digital Media

Making an impact across formats.

Most of a brand presence is not a single campaign. It's the pages, posts and product content that carries it between the big moments. Visual worlds are built with enough range to supply that digital layer and make every piece add to the main impression.

Philipp’s approach to 3D Motion Design is thoughtful and full of imagination. When Philipp joins a project, you can be sure he’ll back-up his input with thorough research for scenes and setups. In my time working with him he’s always brought something unexpected and beautiful to the table.
