  • Graphic Designer at Freelance Clients
    Graz, Austria
    January 2009 - January 2017

    I designed everything from CD Covers (some charting Top 10 on iTunes) to Posters, Flyers and even Websites or UX/UI for Mobile Applications. This particurarly came in very handy now that I am mainly working on Mobile Games. I was young and did whatever there was to do and honestly I really loved it.
