I document your conferences, workshops, group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and meetings — with an open ear and a clear line. Whether live on site or remote, analog or digital, in German or English, solo or as part of a team – always with heart, visual appeal, and meaningful impact. With over 20 years of experience as a graphic recorder, I can offer the right support for almost any scenario and quickly grasp complex topics.
I bring your messages to life – with charming hand-drawn or clean, graphic animations for explainer videos, social media clips, animated logos, or interactive applications in RIVE . From the first idea through storyboard, illustration, animation, and editing to selecting the voice-over and music – you get everything from a single source. With a feel for storytelling and a focus on what truly matters, I’ll guide you through the entire process.
I create illustrations that get straight to the point – with a quick grasp of your ideas and concepts for communication in presentations, posters, books and on social media. Together with you, I focus in an iterative process on the essence of your topic and translate it into clear, distinctive visuals. With a background in engineering, I can quickly understand even complex concepts and present them concisely for your target audience.
"It’s always a joy to work with Michael. Over the past three years, we’ve delivered more than a dozen client workshops/large scale experiential events together, and I’m continually impressed by his talent, experience and calm energy. He listens deeply, brings creative insights, and is always ready to go the extra mile to support the team. Any session is better with him in the room"
"Die Zusammenarbeit mit Michael ist unkompliziert und inspirierend. Er versteht sofort, worum es geht, setzt Ideen präzise um und schafft Illustrationen, die echten Mehrwert stiften. Für mich war von Anfang an klar, dass er die Illustrationen für The Cybernetic Enterprise gestalten würde. Sie machen die Inhalte greifbarer und geben dem Buch eine eigene visuelle Sprache."
"Collaborating with Michael always feels like unlocking new levels of clarity and creativity. He brings sharp thinking, technical understanding, and a visual clarity that I feel always elevates our story. Give him a tangle of technical jargon, or a concept that’s still half-baked, and he’ll come back with an illustration that makes people say “Ah, now I get it.” What makes Michael exceptional isn’t just his artistic skill, it’s his fluency in tech. He listens like an engineer, thinks like a designer, and delivers like a storyteller. Looking forward to many more years!"
"Seit 2004 hat mich Michael bei unzähligen Workshops mit Graphic Recording und seinem Talent für treffsichere und humorvolle Illustrationen unterstützt. Mit seiner flexiblen, emphatischen und lösungsorientierten Art sowie seinem sicheren Gespür dafür, was in einem Arbeitsprozess gerade gebraucht wird, ist es jedes Mal wieder eine große Freude, mit ihm zusammenzuarbeiten.“
"I've worked with Michael several times over the past four years, and it's always been a pleasure. His work consistently delivers exceptional quality—capturing layers of meaning, playfulness, and emotion in every image (like my bee with the smartwatch!) regardless of whether the event language is English or German. Beyond his creative talent, he's incredibly reliable, a great team player, and simply wonderful to have on a project."
Since 2004, I’ve been working successfully with clients from business, politics, and civil society on a wide range of events and projects. With this experience and a background that bridges both the technical and creative worlds I can provide comprehensive advice on the possibilities of graphic recording, illustration, and motion design, and help you find the best format for your needs. From the first idea to the final implementation, your project is always in good hands.
I look forward to hearing from you.
