Back in 2013, when I was an editor at the German online fashion publication Lesmads.de by Hubert Burda Media, I wrote and shot numerous articles ranging from Fashion Week and Event coverage, interviews, product reviews and street style shoots. Unfortunately, the website went offline in January 2016, leaving no accessible link behind.
Before diving into fashion and lifestyle, I wrote a monthly column about my travels during my gap year for Die Rheinpfalz (2011-2012). Furthermore, I was involved as an editor in a college newspaper (St. Elizabeth, NJ, 2011) and as a Fairtrade ambassador, wrote several print articles about the Fairtrade movement in my hometown (2014-2015).
