JELKA JELKAtm

I am a Berlin based freelance designer, researcher and art director working in the fields of Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Experience Design, Moving Image, Sonic Activism, Making & Prototyping.

I graduated in Visual Communication (BFA) at the Bauhaus-Universität, Weimar (DE), and Information Experience Design (MA) at the Royal College of Art, London (UK). Further I participated in a documentary master at Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires (AR). I chair the advocacy and media department of the sea rescue organisation "Sea-Eye e.V."

In the last 12 years I've been working in Portugal, Germany, Canada, The Netherlands, France, Argentina and the UK.
A strong focus of my work lies in the collaboration with Non-Pofit Organisation, NGOs and artistic practices.

I am highly interested in breaking trends and believe in Design having the ability to change the world, to inform and to question society and political structures on a greater level. Having an extreme passion for Languages I enjoy working with intercultural communication and ideas of how to break borders and boundaries. With sound, tech education and the computational culture as my main research focus, I recently became the german ambassador of the creative Network Playtronica.
