How did I become a designer? Why do I love creative direction? What was my first job? What keeps me up at night? And what brands have I helped so far? How did I become a designer? Why do I love creative direction? What was my first job? What keeps me up at night? And what brands have I helped so far? I left my hometown when I was only 19 in order to pursue my dreams of becoming a “real” designer in the capital. That’s when I got my first job offer to join an advertising agency as a full time web and graphic designer. Despite having to sleep in student dorms for months at a time and surviving on toast for the majority of my first year(s) of my employment career, I was happier than ever because I was fueled by something way more important than tangible items could ever provide: a relentless passion for creating beautiful things. As long as I got to create every day, I was fulfilled. But things took a strange turn when the economy crash of 2008/2009 hit not only United States, but Europe as well, because the agency I was working for at the time got restructured and shut down. The price for design goods dropped and all of a sudden the market exploded with competition. I was faced with two choices: get a lower paying job than I had before and potentially lose the dream I sacrificed everything in my life for, or take the uncomfortable and uncertain road of building my own independent creative services business. Despite having zero clue where to start (other than designing my portfolio and launching it to big world wide web), I knew deep down inside of me that I’ll do whatever it takes to build this business from the ground up. So this is how I was led to file the first papers to register Klangwelt® as a solo small business, on the 1st of January 2010. My first focus was designing websites, graphics and marketing assets for musicians, like I did before and I knew I was really good at. Soon I started picking up more and more skills and keeping up with the constant changes of technologies in the web design world, in an effort and dedication to remain relevant – not only for myself – but for the people and the businesses I was serving.
