Profile
Culture needs ideas.
It also needs structures.
I am a cultural manager, producer and consultant based in Berlin. For more than fifteen years, I have worked where programme, organisation, communication and international exchange meet.
My practice began in artist-led networks and residency programmes. It expanded into funding guidance, digital platforms, editorial work and the management of public cultural structures.
Today, I serve as Managing Director of the Department for Art, Culture and History in Berlin-Mitte. This portfolio presents the experience and selected independent work that inform my approach.
