Founder & CEO of Hartung Paris, the Paris-based Brand & Design Intelligence Agency.I am famous for saying ‘it starts with why’ and ‘we need a bit of theatre’ that’s why I make it my mission to deliver a design with a twist. It sells, it impacts and it makes you a better you. I love meeting and connecting with people. I believe that brands, much like individuals, attract us, engage us in meaningful conversations, and form lasting relationships with us.Design is my core focus, but I understand that without a strong Brand Identity, Strategy, and a commitment to Innovation and Sustainability, it lacks depth. That makes me a true believer in ‘Product Driven Marketing’ because what we wear speaks louder than any marketing campaign.I'm especially happy and proud to be working daily with an outstanding team of designers at Hartung Paris in total trust and zero politics. My background: Originally trained as a tailor, I studied garment construction in Berlin, and Fashion in Paris at Studio Berçot. Boasting a skill for garment making, my career spans iconic brands like Martin Margiela, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Hermès, and Nike.Multi-disciplinary background, with a strong mix of German functionality and French flair.Fluent in several languages. Avid surfer, skier, snowboarder, and runner.
