ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Lilli and currently based in Berlin.

I am a multidisciplinary Senior Art Director with over 8 years of experience. Over the years, I specialized
in creating compelling visual stories for global brands in areas such as FMCG, beauty, fashion and cars.
I have worked for large agencies such as Ogilvy, JWT, Heimat TBWA and DDB.
Since joining the VML team, I have not only shaped the creative direction of various brands,
but also supported clients holistically in the implementation of their campaigns.
