DESIGN CREATES CULTURE

“You have such good taste. Your sense of style is always on point!”

I count myself lucky to receive this compliment all the time. Nothing gives me more pleasure than living out my passion for architecture and design as a journalist and magazine creator.

In collaboration with a highly qualified editorial team, I curate one of the top magazines in the German-speaking world as editor-in-chief of AW Architektur & Wohnen. It’s a true honour to brush shoulders with style icons, designers and architects and to indulge my journalistic curiosity to take a look behind the scenes, which also inspires the team to make sure every issue fills our readers with joy and inspiration.

As a trained photographer with years of experience working in the magazine industry, I focus on creating unique imagery and a clear layout and on covering exclusive topics. Beyond simple visual appeal, good design and architecture are capable of initiating social change. In the magazine, we address mega trends and ask the pressing questions of our times: How do we envision living and working in the future? How can we live more sustainably?

AW Architektur & Wohnen acts as a visionary driving force and inspiring curator behind the latest architecture and living trends. As Canadian designer Robert L. Peters so elegantly put it, “Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.”
