INDUSTRIAL · IMAGE · BRAND · PRINT — NÜRNBERG
I design objects, brands, and the images that sell them.
I’m Rob, your Freelance Designer for Industrial, Print, Brand & Photos.
Lecturer at TH Nürnberg.
Services
Objects
Industrial and product design from the first sketch to the print-ready file. I guide you through concept, CAD, prototyping, and preparation for small-batch or series production — with a focus on 3D printing.
Imaging
Studio packshots, still life, and on-site workshop photography. Print-ready and retouched, in the exact image sizes you need.
Brand
Logo, wordmark, color and type systems, applications, and a design guide that lets your team work consistently — without calling me for every business card.
Catalogs, flyers, posters, banners, and exhibition walls. Clean layouts and clear hierarchies, optimized for the specific medium and viewing distance.

Me
I’m a generalist designer with a maker’s mindset. My focus is on materials, physical print, and the user’s everyday experience, moving far beyond just pixels. With ten years of experience designing mechanical watches, I’ve developed a rigorous eye for detail and precision. I bring that same technical discipline to every project, whether I’m modeling a 3D component, designing a catalog, or building a brand identity.
