To live at Majorca is generally very inspiring and in my free time, I enjoy the beaches, mountains, Pilates, and the Mediterranean lifestyle… simply everything outdoors and in nature that offers me a good balance to my daily work at the desk. I am currently self-employed for almost 10 years, so a balanced lifestyle is very important, to stay creative and effective.
My career began with a classical education as a graphic designer, but after that, I quickly realized that I wanted to go my own way and now here I am, 14 years later writing this interview and very happy to share my work, inspirations, and thoughts with others.
My style combines female design aesthetic, natural color schemes and minimalism limited to the essentials. I love floral designs, watercolor graphics, and warm and calm colors and always try to create something new and special, but also that all results come together in a coherent way so that my clients can tell their own stories with them and at the end, all communication channels look harmoniously.
I have specialized in digital media on animated/static social media templates, vector graphics, patterns, and backgrounds and for printing, I offer most logo, stationery, and brochure templates. In the future, I will complete all with my own stock images and mock-ups.
I created my first template a few years later when I saw that templates are also very popular, and that's why I started to work in this field as well. Of course, all needed a lot of time, but now I can look back on a great portfolio which is constantly growing. Currently, I sell on the most popular and largest stock and graphic websites and till today I love to upload something new and to see how the audience will react to it.
Since I almost always use free images to give my clients the possibility to use them in their projects as well, the image search can also be time-consuming to find free but also individual and not often seen images. After the concept is done, I start the actual creative work and put everything together in InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop.
It's hard to say how long a project lasts, but I would roughly say that a product with 20 templates, a detailed description, and all preview images needs about a week… if everything goes right. Sometimes a project runs slowly, but then I do something else because I always work on different projects – templates, vector graphics and also, for example, my own marketing. And with some distance, the lie-down project will also be ready at the end successful.
So if I have a creative depression, I love to go outdoors for a walk charging my batteries and after that, the preview image could be ready in 15 minutes. Another point is to stay unique with all designs, which is every day harder, because of the flood of new designs every day. For me, it's important to search for inspirations, but after the idea is made in my mind I close all and concentrate only on my work – trust your design feelings and don’t always look on others.
I remember for example that I had a client in the agency with a forklift truck business, and I was always working on the entire printing stuff for them. Honestly, the work was very easy and nice, but forklift trucks are really not my passion. Now I don’t have to look at others, I can work with my own style and I’m very glad and thankful that so many other people like my style too.
All this is also an enrichment for my customers, then they get a holistic service from a single source and don't need to search for matching images or presentation possibilities. Then lately I've often noticed that more and more people want to use my designs, but they are not familiar with the Adobe programs, so I'm planning to do small "How to do?" video tutorials, to give everyone the chance to work easily with my templates. I always love to have good contact with my audience and therefore the services next to the creative business – like "How to do?" videos, test freebies and blog posts with design tips - will be also more expanded in the future.
