Evelyn Schubert —

Communications Strategist & Creative Director

I am a Berlin-based Creative Director, writer, and communications strategist with a passion for crafting narratives that constructively shape our society. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with non-profits, NGOs, and mission-driven organizations to amplify their voices on issues such as social and environmental sustainability, equity and justice, political participation, and education.

Most recently, I led Communications & Marketing at the Falling Walls Foundation for the Creative Bureaucracy Festival — the largest festival for public sector innovation. Before that, I was Creative Director and CEO of werk21 Kommunikation, where I led strategic communications and integrated campaigns for NGOs, foundations, and political actors on issues including human rights, remembrance culture, sustainability, and education.

My experience stems from a diverse background in visual communication, storytelling, visual arts, photography, philosophy, and computer science.

My personal philosophy revolves around the transformative power of storytelling. I see stories not just as narratives, but as catalysts capable of reshaping our world.

Philosophy —

Six principles guide my design:

  1. Design is not art.
  2. Great design is invisible.
  3. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
  4. Technology serves human.
  5. The experience belongs to the user.
  6. I can’t design without real content.
