Logos with backbone.
Brands that show up.

I design bold, character-driven visual identities - built to work beyond the logo, built for consistency. From visual systems and apparel graphics to content that helps brands show up.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You believe branding doesn’t stop at the logo
  • You care about consistency across brand, apparel, and content
  • You’re looking for character and clear decisions - not decoration
  • You want design that holds up on screen, in motion, and in the real world
  • You value a clear, honest process - and someone who’s all in

How can I help?

I help brands build clarity, consistency, and presence - from the core to where they show up.

Brand Design

Strategic logo design and visual identity systems built for clarity and longevity.

Focused on character, consistency, and brands that need a strong foundation to grow from.

From the core mark to flexible systems that hold up across digital, print, apparel, and content.

Start a project

Apparel & Brand Assets

Standalone apparel graphics and brand assets for businesses that already have a logo.

Designed to extend an existing brand into merchandise, campaigns, and physical touchpoints — without a rebrand.

From slogan-based graphics and secondary marks to assets built to carry character beyond the core logo.

Request brand assets

Shortform Video & Content

Design-driven shortform video and content for brands that want to show up consistently.

Rooted in visual thinking — typography, hierarchy, rhythm, ideation, and storytelling — applied in motion.

Built to support the brand, not to chase trends or create noise.

Talk about video & content

You’ve seen the work - here’s the person behind it.

No big team. No fancy studio. Just one self-made designer with a thing for bold visuals, quiet vibes, and coffee-fueled focus. I work independently, intentionally, and hands-on - from first idea to final detail. Less noise, more clarity. Less decoration, more backbone.

Some Truths About Me:

  • Self-made designer, born in 1978 - 80s kid through and through
  • Based in Berlin, mostly behind a screen (or a coffee mug)
  • Single dad to a 7-year-old boy
  • Identical twin - 11 minutes younger, eternally cooler 😉
  • Quiet type. Thinks more than he talks.
  • Smoker, but no booze. Ever.
  • Obsessed with skulls, minimalism, and strong logos
  • Skinny, meat-loving, emotionally allergic to onions
  • Lifelong FC Bayern fan
  • Feels most at home with calm, chaos-free vibes and a bit of outlaw energy

What Clients Say

Working with Manuel has been a long-term collaboration built on trust and clarity. He understands our products, our craft, and how to translate that into a visual language that feels authentic and strong. The identity works effortlessly across products, materials, and communication — and still feels like us. That consistency makes a real difference in how our brand is perceived.

SoterisNocturnal Grow
I found Manuel by searching through all the awesome designers on Instagram that showcase their designs. Manuel's style was the perfect match for my brand. He has that edgy design style i was looking for. He responded quickly after i engaged. we set up time to discuss the project and what i was looking for. Manuel provided a bunch of concepts to choose from and from there we began refining the logo and branding. from colors and fonts to styling, Manuel was patient with me and provided enough revisions in his package to ensure the design ended up being exactly what we were looking for. I've reached out to him since that deliverable for additional design work. Always responsive and provides quality design for a reasonable price.
