Hi, I’m Kerstin.
I direct Brand, Design & Systems.
25+ years making strategy → systems → expression → execution → scale work.
Across Scout24, Shopware, DaWanda, and beyond. For experienced people in Marketing, Brand, and Design navigating growth, complexity, and change.



What I do
I work with experienced people in Marketing, Brand, and Design when:
- Advice or an external professional lens is needed.
- Strategy needs shaping.
- Systems aren’t holding together.
- Expression loses coherence across teams and markets.
- Execution drifts without governance or ownership.
- AI can’t replicate the brand because the brand isn’t operational.
Cross-functional collaboration
I work across brand, design, marketing, product, partnerships, legal, and leadership.
My role is to make direction usable, decisions clearer, and execution stronger.
