Über mich

What I do is Pure Magic, I turn the mundane, into Gold, I turn that which we see each day into a thrilling experience, namely Great Branding and Great Design, which knocks your socks off! Hi, my nickname is Rocky, short for Rockford, I'm an Artist, Creative Director, I love, adore damn great business. I started my career as a Graphic Designer in London after winning the famous D&AD Award, Design and Art Direction, Highly Commended in 1985 beating some 3400 graduates. After working in Graphic Design, packaging, and corporate identity for a few years I decided I needed a change of career and ventured into investment banking. My career in investment banking and graphic design lasted over 20 years and I got to work for London's most illustrious investment houses and even took me to Germany where I stayed for 11 years. I am a fluent German speaker. I specialize in financial graphics and financial banks
