Hi, I'm Annika (Anni) — a German native now based in the southern U.S., where I've spent the past 11 years working as a graphic designer in publishing and marketing. Thank you for considering me for your project — I'm new to Upwork, but not to design! With over 20 years of experience in both agency and freelance settings, I’ve worked across a broad range of industries — from movie studios and record labels in Germany to local businesses here in the U.S. No project is too big or too small. I specialize in creating impactful visual identities and marketing materials that not only look great but also deliver results. My expertise spans magazine design, branding, web design, social media content, and print collateral. In addition to design, I offer full-service social media management to help businesses grow and maintain a strong online presence with consistent, high-quality content. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life with creativity, precision, and purpose.

For over 13 years, I've been helping clients meet their needs through a variety of applications of graphic design. My strengths are vector illustration, infographics, report layouts, and logo/identity creation. I rely heavily on solid communication to offer the best possible service to my clients, and I encourage an open discourse as regards my work and how to achieve what the client wants. I have a strong repeat client rate because of the relationships I work to develop and maintain. Moreover, I work with clients I can trust and who can trust me. This is critical to the success of individual and large-scale projects. At my disposal are strong skills in Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, and I've some basic coding knowledge as well. I can illustrate both traditionally and digitally, and enjoy a mixture of straight graphic design work alongside creative freedom to explore style. Choosing me as a freelancer means choosing someone dedicated to exceeding your expectations and providing meaningful, substantive graphic design services.
