KNOW-HOW:
Articles on Art,
Society, Media 
& Design

T

hese articles on art, design, society and technology were written for special-interest publications from art, new media, law, and medicine. Others have appeared in online publications such as LEGAmedia which I have edited over a period of more than five years.

My clients include Macwelt, PCgo, C.H. Beck, Nomos, Haufe, Luchterhand, Deutsches Ärzteblatt, and Revue de l'avocat.
Most of the articles come from my work as illustrator and designer. Some were inspired by my experience as a friend-of-the-court for cases in design and software engineering.
