Through video games like Minecraft, I discovered my passion for digital design. Driven by the desire to make virtual worlds more beautiful and unique, I created my own texture packs, which to this day have reached over 32,000 downloads.<\/p><p>At the same time, I launched my first YouTube channel, where I discovered my enthusiasm for video editing and so-called film paraphrasing: storytelling through music, combined with condensed film sequences. My most successful project \u2013 a \u201cWhere is My Mind?\u201d music edit with over 50,000 views and 800+ likes \u2013 became a key moment for me.<\/p><p>These early experiences in graphic design, storytelling, and editing laid the foundation for my current path with Tom Peters Communication &amp; Design.

Instead of seeing this as a setback, I took it as an opportunity for a fresh start. With an exceptional digital portfolio showcasing my early work in design and video editing, I managed to convince the admissions team at BZTG\u2019s design school.<\/p>\n<p>The exam was a success: I was allowed to skip the 11th grade and enter directly into the 12th.

Each stop brought new impressions, new connections, and a deeper understanding of how differently communication and culture are lived around the world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f665cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f665cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly cut short my originally planned route through the Americas and Africa. Yet this sudden stop only strengthened my determination to deepen my intercultural experiences not only through travel but also academically and professionally. Since then, I\u2019ve continued exploring and have now surpassed visiting over 40 countries \u2013 though I still feel there\u2019s much to catch up on, especially in the regions I couldn\u2019t reach at that time.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences were more than just adventures; they were a hands-on education in international and intercultural communication. They laid the foundation for my later specialization, which was recognized at university as my strongest skill set: international communication, inclusion and diversity promotion, and the ability to facilitate, translate, and bring together cultures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40c66c3 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"40c66c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/druckdesign\/docs\/blattje_nr.118_web\/6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-arrow-alt-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248zm-448 0c0-110.5 89.5-200 200-200s200 89.5 200 200-89.5 200-200 200S56 366.5 56 256zm72 20v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h116v-67c0-10.7 12.9-16 20.5-8.5l99 99c4.7 4.7 4.7 12.3 0 17l-99 99c-7.6 7.6-20.5 2.2-20.5-8.5v-67H140c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More About a Guest of Tom Peters in Uplengen<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fd3c0f e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4fd3c0f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f127aa5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f127aa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40bec2a e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"40bec2a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b90781c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b90781c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Study &amp; Responsibility: International Communication (UAS Hanze)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7916a91 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7916a91\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eec6549 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eec6549\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-073899d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"073899d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After returning from my world trip, I began my studies in International Communication at Hanze University of Applied Sciences (UAS Hanze) in Groningen. The program focused on intercultural competence, international collaboration, and strategic communication \u2013 subjects that were already deeply rooted in me through my travel experiences. It quickly became clear that my practical background was an advantage: performance assessments especially highlighted my ability not only to understand inclusion, diversity, and cultural differences but also to actively facilitate and moderate them.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside my studies, I took on responsibility in my home region. I became involved in local politics and was elected as the youngest councilor in my municipality. Soon after, I was appointed chair of a committee, which allowed me to apply my communication and organizational skills in a real political context.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of academic training and practical responsibility shaped my path significantly: on one hand, I developed solid expertise in international communication; on the other, I learned how vital clear language, listening, and mediation are in political and societal processes. These experiences remain the foundation of my work in communication &amp; design today \u2013 strategic, interculturally sensitive, and practice-oriented.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5478c1 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no

a minor semester in Brand Design and Psychology. This combination opened up a new perspective: not only designing brands visually and strategically but also understanding their psychological impact on people.<\/p>\n<p>What fascinated me most was the field of neuropsychology, where I discovered my strongest aptitude. Under the guidance of Erik Schoppen, a recognized expert in brand and sales psychology, I deepened my knowledge of mass psychology as well as buying and selling processes. Here, I was able to excel not only theoretically but also with top performance, demonstrating how closely communication, design, and psychology are intertwined.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences continue to shape my work today: every brand, every project, and every communication strategy are not just creative constructs but also psychological systems that influence behavior, perception, and decision-making. The connection between brand design and psychology remains one of my greatest levers when it comes to developing effective communication solutions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ad7a63 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9ad7a63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.managementboek.nl\/boek\/9789043037013\/strategisch-merkenmanagement-met-mylab-nl-toegangscode-kevin-lane-keller\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-arrow-alt-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248zm-448 0c0-110.5 89.5-200 200-200s200 89.5 200 200-89.5 200-200 200S56 366.5 56 256zm72 20v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h116v-67c0-10.7 12.9-16 20.5-8.5l99 99c4.7 4.7 4.7 12.3 0 17l-99 99c-7.6 7.6-20.5 2.2-20.5-8.5v-67H140c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Psychology Recommendation by Tom Peters<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adc678e e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"adc678e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2864139 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2864139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d8f4b9 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1d8f4b9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1885621 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1885621\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Self-Employment &amp; Practice: Tom Peters Communication, Design &amp; Marketing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2618ee8 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2618ee8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5075de5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5075de5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alongside my studies, I started establishing myself early on as a freelancer in marketing under the name <strong>Tom Peters Communication &amp; Design<\/strong>. At first, it was a way to finance my academic journey, but it quickly grew into a portfolio of projects for businesses and private clients. This is where I learned not only how to design brands but also how to lead them strategically \u2013 from concept development and execution to long-term positioning.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, I gained over nine years of experience in the family real estate business, where I was responsible for branding, marketing campaigns, and public relations. This included traditional ads, PR articles, public outreach, and the creation of marketing materials. That work gave me deep insights into the link between communication strategy and business practice \u2013 and showed me the importance of tailoring brand messages precisely to their target audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I combine these experiences with my professional background in International Communication and Brand Design. The result is an approach that merges creativity, strategy, and psychological impact \u2013 delivering solutions that are not only aesthetically compelling but also measurably effective.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-711d882 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"711d882\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"https:\/\/peters.marketing\/en\/portfolio\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-arrow-alt-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248zm-448 0c0-110.5 89.5-200 200-200s200 89.5 200 200-89.5 200-200 200S56 366.5 56 256zm72 20v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h116v-67c0-10.7 12.9-16 20.5-8.5l99 99c4.7 4.7 4.7 12.3 0 17l-99 99c-7.6 7.6-20.5 2.2-20.5-8.5v-67H140c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More About Services<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaed059 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eaed059\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f587f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9f587f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acafee0 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"acafee0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcab3f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dcab3f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Practical Experience at Orgadata: Marketing &amp; Internal Communication<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5086a9a e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5086a9a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c140b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c140b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An important milestone in my professional development was my internship at the software company Orgadata, where I worked in the marketing department.

A central focus was on the strict EU regulations regarding sustainable production, which are often crucial for Asian companies entering the market. My recommendation to switch to solar energy and obtain the relevant EU standards and certifications laid an important foundation for the ongoing expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the strategy work not only led to a stronger focus on the European market but also to a growing presence of the company in Hong Kong.

Because I am convinced: only those who look beyond the horizon can successfully lead brands into the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d13991 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5d13991\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc22ae0 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc22ae0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fffaad0 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"fffaad0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1f2811 e-con-full e-flex wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a1f2811\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ae6a24 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1ae6a24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"https:\/\/peters.marketing\/en\/about-me\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-arrow-alt-circle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M504 256C504 119 393 8 256 8S8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248zm-448 0c0-110.5 89.5-200 200-200s200 89.5 200 200-89.5 200-200 200S56 366.5 56 256zm72 20v-40c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h116v-67c0-10.7 12.9-16 20.5-8.5l99 99c4.7 4.7 4.7 12.3 0 17l-99 99c-7.6 7.6-20.5 2.2-20.5-8.5v-67H140c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More About Me<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07495ea e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"07495ea\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-513725e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"513725e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6cb203 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d6cb203\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f30bb12 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f30bb12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more or start a project together, feel free to get in touch with me.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfbdfae e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cfbdfae\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-823e6e2 elementor-button-align-stretch elementor-widget elementor-widget-form\" data-id=\"823e6e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;step_next_label&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;step_previous_label&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;button_width&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;step_type&quot;:&quot;number_text&quot;,&quot;step_icon_shape&quot;:&quot;circle&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form class=\"elementor-form\" method=\"post\" name=\"Contact Click-Through\" aria-label=\"Contact Click-Through\">\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"post_id\" value=\"2132\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" value=\"823e6e2\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"referer_title\" value=\"Webdesign, Branding &amp;

Design: My Journey Hi, I\u2019m Tom Peters \u2013 communication &amp; design are not just my profession, but my path.From my first steps as a teenager in graphic design and video editing to studying International Communication in Groningen, I\u2019ve been shaped by a passion for creativity, language, and people. Today, I combine creative ideas with clear strategy to make brands, projects, and stories visible. This page tells my story: how video games turned into my first texture packs, how daily discipline and international experiences broadened my perspective \u2013 and how I learned to see communication and design not just as work, but as a mindset. Early Years: From Video Games to Graphic Design Use \u2190 \u2192 (or touch) to steer and avoid the blocks. Points = survival time. Already in my youth, my creative journey began. Through video games like Minecraft, I discovered my passion for digital design. Driven by the desire to make virtual worlds more beautiful and unique, I created my own texture packs, which to this day have reached over 32,000 downloads. At the same time, I launched my first YouTube channel, where I discovered my enthusiasm for video editing and so-called film paraphrasing: storytelling through music, combined with condensed film sequences. My most successful project \u2013 a \u201cWhere is My Mind?\u201d music edit with over 50,000 views and 800+ likes \u2013 became a key moment for me. These early experiences in graphic design, storytelling, and editing laid the foundation for my current path with Tom Peters Communication &amp; Design. Even though I wasn\u2019t the classic illustrator, I found my expression through digital tools \u2013 and learned how visual design, music, and emotion can form a powerful language. Education &amp; Certification: BZTG Oldenburg and the Leap Forward My professional journey began in a hands-on way: I started an apprenticeship as a Print Media Technologist at BZTG Oldenburg because I wanted to understand the foundations of communication and design not only in theory but also in practice \u2013 from paper and colors to printing processes. However, a serious sports injury forced me to end the apprenticeship early. Instead of seeing this as a setback, I took it as an opportunity for a fresh start. With an exceptional digital portfolio showcasing my early work in design and video editing, I managed to convince the admissions team at BZTG\u2019s design school. The exam was a success: I was allowed to skip the 11th grade and enter directly into the 12th. This step not only marked the completion of my advanced technical diploma but also the transition from early creative projects to a clear, professional path in communication and design. Work &amp; Hands-On Experience: DPD, Deutsche Post &amp; Finding Direction To finance my education and later my path to design school, I rolled up my sleeves early on. In the afternoons, I worked in the warehouse at DPD, loading containers and tackling physically demanding tasks as part of a team. On weekends, I took on additional shifts as a substitute at Deutsche Post, delivering mail throughout my region. After a serious injury that left my leg shattered, I used these jobs not only to fund my education but also as a form of rehabilitation. The heavy lifting and loading at DPD strengthened my upper body, while the constant walking and carrying at Deutsche Post gradually helped restore strength and stability to my leg. This period was physically challenging, but it taught me something that remains the foundation of my work today: discipline, clarity of purpose, and a strong work ethic. Even though it may seem far removed from Tom Peters Communication &amp; Design, these experiences laid the groundwork for my mindset as a communication professional \u2013 perseverance, structure, and the ability to turn setbacks into strength. World Travel &amp; Shifting Perspectives After my time at BZTG Oldenburg, I already knew that my goal was to pursue a degree in International Communication. But before taking that path, I wanted to experience the world firsthand \u2013 through encounters, cultures, and direct exchange with people. So I set out on a journey from Germany through Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, and Denmark, continuing on to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece. From there, I traveled further to Asia \u2013 visiting the Philippines, Korea, Nepal, and Japan. Each stop brought new impressions, new connections, and a deeper understanding of how differently communication and culture are lived around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly cut short my originally planned route through the Americas and Africa. Yet this sudden stop only strengthened my determination to deepen my intercultural experiences not only through travel but also academically and professionally. Since then, I\u2019ve continued exploring and have now surpassed visiting over 40 countries \u2013 though I still feel there\u2019s much to catch up on, especially in the regions I couldn\u2019t reach at that time. These experiences were more than just adventures; they were a hands-on education in international and intercultural communication. They laid the foundation for my later specialization, which was recognized at university as my strongest skill set: international communication, inclusion and diversity promotion, and the ability to facilitate, translate, and bring together cultures. Learn More About a Guest of Tom Peters in Uplengen Study &amp; Responsibility: International Communication (UAS Hanze) After returning from my world trip, I began my studies in International Communication at Hanze University of Applied Sciences (UAS Hanze) in Groningen. The program focused on intercultural competence, international collaboration, and strategic communication \u2013 subjects that were already deeply rooted in me through my travel experiences. It quickly became clear that my practical background was an advantage: performance assessments especially highlighted my ability not only to understand inclusion, diversity, and cultural differences but also to actively facilitate and moderate them. Alongside my studies, I took on responsibility in my home region. I became involved in local politics and was elected as the youngest councilor in my municipality.
