“Creativity comes from the heart, when you draw it´s like your soul is holding the pen.”

 

– Marina Makelko

 

Art and design have always been more than just a profession for me. They are passions that influence many areas of my life – even more than that. I started painting as a toddler and never stopped. Over the years, I have added many more creative activities. I never wanted to commit myself to which area I wanted to go into and which I wanted to stay in, why should I, isn’t that what makes the creative spirit?

 

I started my professional career as a graphic designer. After many cool projects for musicians and agencies, I founded my own fashion brand at the age of 26 and gained a lot of experience in project management, fashion design and online retail. In 2016, with a heavy heart, I decided to leave it and travel to Australia. Once in Sydney, I worked for creative agencies that required a lot of drawing talent and got me clients like Nikon, Google and Microsoft. In 2017, I returned to Germany after my creative adventure. I now work as a freelance graphic designer, illustrator and videographer. My main job is as a senior video manager for an industrial company.
