Hi, I'm Knut.
A nature photographer and communication designer from the north of Hamburg.
Born in Bremen, I have always enjoyed being creative since I was little. Whether it was playing music, taking photos, writing poems and stories or designing book and CD covers.
During my dual studies in communication & PR, I finally discovered my love for design and have now successfully completed my training as a communication designer.

Lukky Media
Working Student Social Media | 04.2021 - 08.2022
A month after dropping out of my dual study program, I started working at this social media agency and, together with the other working student, created social media content for a large mobile home and caravan manufacturer. After the other working student left the agency, my boss and I continued to run the agency together until another full-time employee joined and I then took on a new role.

C4 Rocks
Dual Student Commerce Content Editor | 09.2020 - 03.2021
As part of my work there as a dual student, I wrote commerce content for various media outlets, especially from the Funke Media Group. These included RTL and once Bild der Frau. However, I had to leave the agency after just six months because I dropped out of college.

Evangelische Jugend Bremen
Voluntary social-cultural year | 09.2019 - 09.2020
In order to find out what I wanted to do later, I completed a voluntary cultural year with the Evangelical Youth Bremen after graduating from high school. There I was involved in the marketing and communications department. My tasks included revising the website, helping to organize events, documenting them and sending out mailings and advertising materials.
Part of this voluntary year was also the implementation of my own project. As part of this, I created my own exhibition about homeless people in Bremen (I'm someone too), which was on display for a week in St. Petri Cathedral in the city center, including an opening event and my own photo book.
From November 19th to 21st, 2019, I was also part of the EJHB's Bremen Class Days as a team leader and led various games and gained experience in dealing with young people. In this case, it was a 7th grade class.

Weser Kurier
Intern in the district sports department | 1.10 - 8.10.2018
As part of my membership in BTV 1877, I also photographed many of the club's baseball team games and began to provide them to the Weser Kurier's local sports department. This gave me the opportunity to do a short internship in the local sports department for a week during the fall break.
