About me

The long version.

Marketing designer with a soft spot for bold type, clean grids and ideas that sell. Here’s where I’ve been and what I’ve learned so far.

About me

I’m Marvin, 26, a graphic designer from Germany. I studied Media Design as a dual student at IU International University of Applied Sciences, with Adler Werbegeschenke as my practice partner: three and a half years of combining my studies with real design work.

I majored in Social Media Brand Management and User Experience and graduated in March 2026 with a final grade of 1.6. Since April 2026, I’ve been working at Adler Werbegeschenke as a graphic designer.

Next, I’m looking for a role in a brand or marketing team where I can take on more responsibility and keep learning from great designers.
