Creative Career Guidance for Artists & Photographers

With more than ten years of experience in the art world and advertising, I have worn many hats. Before focusing on my photography practice and exhibitions I led the PR and content team, which made viennacontemporary one of the top 20 art fairs in the world. My professional experience ranges from realizing numerous award-winning campaigns to producing and creating editorial & commercial content across different formats, from tv and print media to online platforms. My work was exhibited at the Belvedere museum, Vienna Art Week and Foto Wien Festival among others.


Since 2020 I have been hosting workshops and offering mentoring for artists and creatives, offering my broad experience, insight, and network to help them move their artistic practice forward. My mentoring practice is centered around mindful and impactful communication & career guidance, aligning core values of individuals & cultural organizations, and engaging audiences and potential clients through marketing, communications, and positioning.

Topics I can help you with:

  • how to combine your passion for creativity, your values, and personality traits to turn your passion into your profession, or take your current work situation to the next level.

  • from ideation to location & production process. Budget calculation. How to work with invitations, how to increase visibility and sales, how to work with the curators, who is responsible for what in the team, how to work with the curators and galleries, etc.

  • Creating a portfolio of work, shifting directions.

  • and how to work with clients to achieve both your and their goals successfully.

  • (who is who, unspoken rules, do's and don'ts)
