I love creating beautiful designs that talk to people. So I dive deep into my client's needs, listening before I speak and always count on inspiration that is my faithful compagnion.

Katrinized comes from the heart! It is self-determined and has a good motivation

When I was a kid (I was cute, btw), I drew a lot and made up stories that I sometimes wrote down. I’ve always had a lot of imagination and have seen things figuratively. It was clear that I would choose a creative profession. So I can really say that I love what I do. That’s me. And that’s why for me work is about passion.

Raising a creative mind

Communication is always more than just talking. It’s often about what’s between the lines. Either way I’m sure that we will understand each other. English always helps, gladly I’m quite good at it. My mother tongue is German and I also speak un po‘ di Italiano.

The software is always just a means to an end and does not define it. So it depends on the project whether I’m working with Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop or all of them at the same time. I’m a pro with all of them and I rarely have to ask questions when it comes to print. I’m more of the person who has answers. For a while I’ve also been working with Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos, which I enjoy a lot.

A positive attitude will always take you further – both in working life and privately. Therefore, it should not be about problems, but about finding a solution to a task. This is how creativity sets in and outstanding projects are created which in the end makes the both of us - you and me - happy.

Katrinized? That's not even a real word!

Just a little story to be told.

It was not pure arrogance that made me invent my own adverb from my name and call my little business that. Actually, it was a friend from England who did it. Even when I had started working part-time and my business still had no name, this same friend asked me for help with a project. She showed me her documents and templates in an ugly transparent bag and said „We need to katrinize it!“ After I laughed out loud, I thought she had just said everything I needed. And already Katrinzed was baptized.
