What I do

Branding
Web Design
Product Design
Editorial Design
Design Systems
Prototyping

Even though I’m a specialist in branding and digital design, a broad skillset has been important to me since my studies.
I’m a creative person who draws a lot of energy and inspiration from different creative outlets. Check out my play section to see how I stay inspired. 

This is why I always try to think about new ways to push the project to the next level. In general I like to move fast, make things tangible and keep everything pixel perfect.

Selected work in collaboration with agencies

A few kind words from people I have worked with

»Marcel is our go-to designer whenever we can make it happen. Quick, reliable, thoughtful and always bringing fresh ideas. He has sharp attention to detail and the kind of versatility that makes every project better. Plus he is just a joy to work with.«

Quote Jürgen
Jürgen Hassler
Partner at MAD — Make a Difference

»I can only recommend working with Marcel! A truly creative mind, living and breathing a culture of learning and design. From cranking out new design languages from scratch in no time to designing full products over a longer period, he has it all. From deep insight into media products to curiosity for new industries, he is versatile as hell. After 7 years working with Marcel he still continues to amaze me with his work and style of collaboration.«

You might be wondering

In which project phase do you normally join the project?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
Since I see my greatest strength in visual design, I am usually supporting in the design direction phase at the latest or in the strategy workshops that beforehand. I usually accompany the process from the initial direction, through the creation of the designs to the construction of the design system and handover to the developer.
Are you more interested in shorter or longer projects?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
I am open to supporting projects with a scope between one week and six months. The sweet spot is somewhere between one to three month I’d say.
Do you mainly work as an individual contributor or as a project lead?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
As a freelancer, I’ve mostly worked as an individual contributor. However, during my time at Edenspiekermann, I also worked as a project lead, and of course I also do this in my work for my own clients. If you need support from a hands-on lead, please get in touch; maybe it’s a good fit.
Do you also work on site at the agency?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
If in Berlin, yes! Big advocate for office culture and connecting with new people.
Do you work on a daily rate or project price?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
When working with agencies, I usually work on a daily rate basis. If we’ve already worked together successfully and I’ve gotten a feel for your processes, I can also imagine working on a project budget basis, if you prefer.
Anything you’re not interested at all in?
Dropdown Arrow Down Dropdown Up
I don’t work on UX only projects where visual design is not part of the scope. I am not interested in supporting a project with a poor and non-adaptable design system. I don’t do ad banners.
