Hi, I'm Stephie &
Creative Director and graphic designer
Born in 1989 in Stade, on the edge of the Altes Land.
With over a decade of experience in renowned advertising and communications agencies, I now divide my time between working as a creative director for a Hamburg agency and my freelance work as a designer.
As a freelancer, I have specialised in helping self-employed people and small businesses in particular to shape their brand. From logo design to the development of a consistent colour scheme and typography, I guide you step by step through the entire branding process. I am constantly looking for inspiration to transform your vision into a strong and contemporary brand. Together we will create a brand that inspires your customers, is fun and builds trust.
Your brand, your dream customer, your design
My goal is to connect the heart of your brand with your ideal audience. In my design studio, I am dedicated to the mission of creating branding that is perfectly tailored to your brand.
I draw my personal inspiration from contemporary, vintage and Scandi design. With this combination, I bring a handmade, individual charm to your brand that is both timeless and modern. Every design tells a story - and I help you bring the story of your brand to life.
I am convinced that design is there to make life more beautiful and should not be reserved for big companies. Design makes life more fun and creates a visual experience when words alone are not enough. Let's work together to develop a brand identity that is not only appealing, but also builds a connection with your customers.
My services & your bespoke solution for a strong brand identity
I am at your side to strengthen your brand and make it stand out visually. I offer customised solutions to emphasise your unique identity and position your company successfully. To make your journey as pleasant as possible, I have defined three suitable branding packages for the most common requirements - from small to large.

As a creative director with over a decade of experience in art/creative direction, communication design and conceptualisation, I have already gained valuable experience in the agency industry. After graduating in Communication Design, I started my career at Jung von Matt, initially as an Intern Art, then Junior Art Director and finally Art Director. In the following years, I gained valuable experience in campaign development and presentation design as Art Director at Jung von Matt/Next Alster and K16 GmbH. I was then Senior Art Director at Oliver Agency, an in-house agency at the Unilever site in Hamburg, before moving back to my current role at K16 GmbH / KONKAV Agency as Creative Director in 2023. My career has been characterised by creative challenges from large clients, enabling me to help small businesses and self-employed people to effectively shape their brand identity.
