30 years of close collaboration

In 1996, I began as the first apprentice at trio-group — then known as “das trio” — I began my apprenticeship as an advertising clerk. The agency had been founded only a few months earlier. Over many years, I had the privilege of supporting its development into one of Germany’s leading owner-managed advertising agencies. The trio group maintained many locations nationwide, including Mannheim, Munich, Cologne, Montabaur, Frankfurt, and Hamburg.

Starting in 1998, I worked as a freelancer while simultaneously expanding my qualifications as a media designer and state-certified information designer.
