I am a graduate graphic-designer & illustrator, living and working in Vienna (Austria).

A lot of my work is done "by hand" (at least it starts this way). I work across media mixing "analogue" techniques with digital ones. 

At the beginning of my work is always the concept - capture what to do.

This step is the most important, it is still necessary to find the right way and then to communicate it properly to the viewer. A close collaboration with the customer is essential in this phase.

Graduate of the master class for graphic design with excellent performance in 1996.

Working for large agencies in Vienna since 1997, partially as an Art Director.

2005 foundation of my own office, the BENNER ideenwerkstatt ("ideenwerkstatt" is a German word that could be translated as "Workshop on Ideas"). Since then working for dozens of small or medium companies.

Longtime musician (composition, guitar, vocals, keyboard). Since 2007, professional vocal training (classical and jazz). Composition of jingles and music for small commercials. This (new) business will start in Summer 2013 with two partners as a separate company.
