Hi, my name is Mirko!
I am a graphic designer from Bielefeld (Germany), with experience in typography, layout, illustration and book design. 
I believe that good design is a mixture of solid concepts, creative flexibility and a little bit of gut feeling. My design work is characterized by bold visual language, with the aim to give each new project a unique identity.
Some personal details. I am interested in interior design and architecture, enjoy visiting exhibitions of all kinds and probably own too many books. I also love photography and own both digital and analog cameras.
