Working together

My motto is: working together.
I work with you as a creative advisor for your branding and design needs. Whether it’s a flicker of an idea or a well-thought-out project, I would love to hear from you. Together, we will explore, craft and finalise the best ideas. If your project needs an extra set of skills, I work with a team of associates. We’ve got you covered.

Graphic design and branding is collaborative

I work with you, rather than for you to help you, achieve your business goals. This approach allows me to collaborate with you while asking you questions that lead to the perfect brand for you. Whether it’s a one-off project or ongoing design support, I love to listen, explore and bring your ideas to life. If your project requires a set of skills that I don’t possess, I identify and engage the right associate to work with us. My goal is for you to get the results you need.

I work flexibly and on a project basis

When you work with me, you are dealing with me as your main contact during your project. There are no long-term contracts. You only pay for the project that I complete and if there are more projects, we agree a fee for the new project. My working hours are typically 9-5, Monday to Friday but if you need to reach me urgently, you can reach me by email anytime. Due to low overheads, you get the best price.

My values drive my style of working

Before you decide to work with a graphic designer, you should know what drives them. Here are the things that drive me:

  • Creativity and passion for my work
  • Simple and modern approach to design
  • Structure and clarity in my communication
  • Approachable and hands-on approach with clients
  • Trustworthy and reliable in every project
I offer multiple services to suit your graphic design needs

I can cover every visual aspect of your business and submit concepts for you to consider. My starting point is logo development. From this, I build the whole corporate identity to make sure that your visual design is consistent across all platforms. Whether digital or print, your marketplace will experience your corporate identity in the same way.

Here are my services:
Stationery design, brochure design, catalogue design, logo design, brand development, brand identity, leaflet design, flyer design, web design, website, animated explainer video, exhibition stand and banners
I work with skilled associates to deliver high quality work

I often work with associates who have relevant skillsets that add value to the project. The associates that I work with are usually self-employed or freelancers themselves. They are like-minded individuals with similar approaches to client work. These different skillsets are often not found in one person because let’s face it – no one can do everything! If that’s the case, we have a name for it in German: It’s an “egg-laying, woollen, milky pig.” 🙂

Here are the additional skillsets that my associates bring to design projects:
  • Marketing strategy
  • Content writing
  • Photography
  • Videography
  • Printing and finishing
  • Social media marketing, content marketing and offline marketing
  • Social media advertising: Google ads and LinkedIn ads
  • Web development and coding
  • Search Engine Optimisation: SEO
  • 3D animation
Wondering what it’s like to work with me?

Here’s a brand development process as an example showing which steps we’ll go through together from project initiation to completion:

“Anja took us through a creative journey and worked with us to bring our vision for Doqaru to life. We’re delighted with our brand. It’s energetic and versatile. People always comment on how strong it is!”
