Co-founded a D2C brand that sells high-quality organic olive oil — supporting small farmers and social projects in Greece. Since launching it as a side project with one of my best friends in 2020, we’ve sold over 40,000 liters and donated around €30,000.
Launched a viral card game to bring more joy into Christian faith — while encouraging a context-aware approach to scripture. Sold 10,000+ items in the first months while getting featured by some of the most relevant press and public figures ↗ in the niche.
From ’17 to ’23, I helped build a VC-backed EdTech startup focused on making schools more efficient. I played a key role in shaping the brand and product, pitching to top-tier investors like HV Capital and driving growth in all areas – while scaling from 1 to 170+ employees and reaching a valuation of over €100M. Ranked 9th in the GlassDollar Top 100 Fastest Growing German Startups 05/20 ↗, pitched at "Die Höhle der Löwen" ↗, got featured by Germanys most prominent media (e.g. WELT ↗ & FAZ ↗) and lectured as a guest speaker at WHU business school.
While these are the companies to which I contributed most significantly, I supported other impact-driven organizations in interim roles or as a consultant over the past years — primarily in product design, branding, and growth. Examples include Buzzard ↗, Open Doors ↗, and Tearfund ↗.
Also, for almost ten years now, I’ve been spending a week at a monastery around New Year’s – to reflect on life, reconnect with myself, and realign with what truly matters. It’s been so transformative that I’ve started hosting occasional monastery retreats – to share the personal routines and reflection practices I’ve developed over the years. Join the waitlist ↗
I’m also a certified health coach and have worked with people living with Type 1 Diabetes – just like me – to improve their holistic wellbeing. While I’m not taking on new 1:1 clients at the moment due to focus on my other work, the desire to help people live better lives remains at the heart of everything I build.
I'm a design-driven innovator who loves to solve meaningful problems – while having fun. Here are some of my core beliefs and values:
I believe everyone has reasons for what they do – which is why I think we should be kind to each other and aim to understand rather than judge.
I’m also deeply moved by how everyone carries a package we often can’t see from the outside. I believe there’s beauty in sharing these vulnerabilities and struggles instead of keeping up a facade.
Again and again, I’m surprised by how the things that truly fulfill us are often different from what we expect to make us happy.
And while I love to create things that have an impact, I find joy in outdoor adventures and everyday moments that allow me to fully rest in the present – without the pressure to perform. I believe in work hard, play hard – and rest hard.
I believe that, in the end, what we all long for is to feel something deeply – to be touched in our hearts by the experiences we have, rather than letting life just rush by.
With my work, I want to contribute more and more to what I call life feeling warm – those moments when we feel alive, connected, and at peace. A kind of warmth that goes deeper than superficial happiness.
Around my work and some of these topics I started creating content on my Instagram ↗ – and I’m working on further formats to inspire people who resonate with these values.
