Born in 1978 and raised in East-Berlin. My passion and fascination for shoes
started 1990, right after the wall came down and hasn’t stop since than. At the same time, inspired by “Beat Street” I began to play with colors through graffiti. Today, I still love colors, color combination and everything around it.
I studied Multi-media arts and design, created and published books about "sneaker-heads" in Germany and Japanese vintage sneaker and made my first steps into the industry as a Color and Material Designer for ASICS
and Onitsuka Tiger. In 2014 I moved on and I’m with the Nike family since than..
This blog is kind a diary of my work, to remember where I started and nice projects I worked on along the road. Enjoy... :)
The future is colorful!
PS: ...ohhh, and my all time favorite is the Nike Air 180!"
