Hi,
I‘m Martin,
an Art Director
& Illustrator.
I’m living & working in Leipzig, Germany.
I create brand identities, print products, websites, illustrations and everything
in-between.
Currently working as an Art Director at the agency '8mylez' – based in Leipzig, Germany. We are specialized in online shops and websites. But we also conceive and create distinctive identities that distinguish you from your competitors. From logo design to graphic design to advertising campaigns.
With over 15 years experience, I have held both Art Direction and Illustration positions
in Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig & Paderborn.
And I had opportunity to work with internationally established brands
as well as local business.
I‘m always keen to hear about new collaborations and interesting projects so feel free to shoot me a message.

I’m 20% crazy, 70% creative and
10% copper (maybe a bit more of the copper).
Other great passions of mine are...
/92%
branding
I work closely with clients to discover their brand personalities and help them tell their visual stories.
/89%
I create visuals that showcase your products and services using the right messaging and materials. From posters and exhibition stands to adverts and brochures.
/94%
Graphic
Graphic design forms the nuts and bolts of what I do; a visual form of communication that can be cleverly manipulated in order to make any visual identity sing.
/73%
web
I‘m sooooooo bored of the sea of templates. Are you? Lets make your website wicked and unique.

ILLUSTRATION
I’ll add a touch of personality to your brand by injecting impactful illustrations where photography won’t work – to visually explain your story.
As far as shopware is concerned, my colleagues at the agency are specialists! If you not only want to have a visually appealing, but also well functioning shop, feel free to contact me!
