Projects

A look at the brands, systems and stories I've helped bring to life. Branding, web and print - built end to end, one project at a time.

One scalable system. 60 driving schools.

I created one system that could adapt to 60 businesses across Germany - including 47 full websites, plus branding and print. A flexible brand system that took an outdated industry online - through websites, print and everything between. Explore the Project

Brand strategy meets AI direction.

I led two end-to-end rebrands, helping the agency sharpen its direction and evolve its visual presence. Two rebrands, five years - helping the agency find a clearer visual direction as it grew. Explore the Project

Making a big organisation feel simple.

I created the brand and website from scratch, then extended the system across accessibility, print, events and additional brands. A flexible identity and digital system bringing a growing social organisation together. Explore the Project

Creating a band look as wild as it sounds.

I shaped the band's identity through custom lettering, illustration and glitter - and they liked it enough to write a song about it. A playful visual identity for an indie rock band that wanted something messy, expressive and completely their own. Explore the Project

Personal Projects

I make digital art, doodles and random visual experiments simply because I enjoy it. A little space for creativity without a brief. Explore the Project

Besonders beeindruckt hat mich ihre kreative, zeitgemäße Gestaltung, ihr außergewöhnliches Gespür für Details sowie ihre Fähigkeit, unsere Vorstellungen schnell zu erfassen und in überzeugende Lösungen zu übersetzen.

Die Zusammenarbeit war geprägt von hoher Verbindlichkeit, gegenseitigem Vertrauen und einer bemerkenswert schnellen Umsetzung – ich würde jederzeit wieder sehr gerne mit ihr zusammenarbeiten.

  • We hired Ernesta to design our company brochure. To sum it up: we absolutely love the result and warmly recommend working with her. Ernesta worked with incredible patience, always in time, always in our best interest. Even when we decided to change things last minute, she was encouraging and shared her creative insights.

  • I mentored Ernesta during her role as an interaction designer for the DPS 3 months program. I was responsible to provide interaction design guidance and feedback for the teams. Ernesta has worked in an agile manner, with a multidisciplinary team for the city of Hamburg. She tackled the problem successful by going through many design sprints. She has showed great passion, motivation and proactive attitude. She is a quick learner, skilled designer and reliable team player. She proved her capabilities in design thinking, problem solving, making the right decisions and move forward with the design. Ernesta gives great attention to details, while considering the big picture, to create the most efficient & user friendly experience. I enjoyed working with Ernesta, and I found her a highly skilled & motivated designer, who would be a great added value for any team she would join.

  • Ernesta carried out every aspect of her work to the highest possible standard. She is very hard working. When it’s the time of the year of our Year of the X festival workload gets really tough and I remember Ernesta after the last festival late at night cleaning up with a smile in her face and dancing. She was solid as a rock and gave the festival her personal touch as she is an outstanding creative person. She’s responsible for the whole look and feel of our company and the whole festival. She was very responsible to have a constant CI trough all our materials and no matter of online or online medium Ernesta did a perfect development. She always worked in time. Ernesta works extremely independently and has taught herself everything she needs. She has never given up and always asked the right people at the right time for insights and help to develop herself and deliver even more value to the company.

Hi, I’m Ernesta!

A Graphic & Web Designer with a Thing for Colour, Ideas and Making Things Happen.

I’m a graphic and web designer based in Germany. I’ve been designing since 2017, working across branding, digital, web and print.

I like taking an idea from that slightly messy “what if we…” stage and turning it into something clear, visual and actually useful. I enjoy being involved in the whole process - from finding the direction and shaping the concept to designing the details and bringing everything together.

I’m especially drawn to colour, strong visual identities and projects that give me room to think, experiment and make something a little unexpected.

A universe is full of stars. One of them is me.

Outside Pixels.

A little glimpse into who I am beyond design - the things I love, the things I do, and what keeps me curious.
