*A facilitator supports groups in achieving their goals together, structuring discussions, and easing decision-making processes. They ensure an open and respectful atmosphere, promote collaboration, and help resolve conflicts. The aim is to make group work efficient and productive.
In my backpack, I carry an apprenticeship as a typesetter, training as a graphic designer, a degree in „Corporate Design Management FH,“ and a qualification as a facilitator.
Twenty-seven years ago, I founded MAGMA, an agency specialising in branding and design.
Doing things the right way is very important to me – working creatively with head, hand, and heart, and being a generalist who seeks to understand the core of things. But „doing the right things“ is even more important. That’s why I have invested time and energy into my family, travelling to Nepal, MAGMA branding, my children’s education, leading mountain climbing activities at various rock climbing camps, serving on the board of Mountain Wilderness for over 25 years (and exploring real mountains), and for the past ten years, supporting people in my „second home“ Nepal through the Vitamin C association.
I enjoy being outdoors in nature and the mountains, and I perform well when engaging with other people.
Currently, I am actively learning Nepali, including its script and language.
