Christoph Ehlers, Design Lead

Christoph Ehlers

Christoph Ehlers is an experienced designer at MWIMMERDESIGN.

His areas of expertise include corporate design, web design, illustration, and moving images, with a knack for creating tailored branding solutions that help companies stand out visually and digitally.

Together with the team, he personally oversees projects from conception through implementation.

Since 2002, I have been creating unique visual concepts for our clients that are not only visually striking but also strategically compelling.

I began my career as a freelancer and quickly developed a passion for corporate design and web design – two disciplines that remain my areas of expertise to this day. I’m particularly proud of projects such as the branding and web design for Pfennigparade, where I was able to delve deeply into the needs of the target audience, as well as the explanatory video on scene hygiene for fire departments. This project allowed me to fully showcase my skills as an illustrator.

In my work, I place great emphasis on thoroughly understanding our clients’ goals and needs and developing tailored solutions that go beyond the obvious. “What do we want to say, to whom, how, and why?”—this simple question lies at the heart of my design philosophy. I’m not afraid to ask even the uncomfortable questions, because often it’s only through a deep understanding of the client’s offering and goals that we can arrive at design solutions that are a perfect fit.

Outside the design studio, I find balance in music, skateboarding, swimming, traveling, and the world of books. These passions help me stay creative and continually bring fresh perspectives to my work.

I see the future as an exciting challenge: Technologies like AI are transforming our field, but I am convinced that human creativity remains irreplaceable. I look forward to working with you to bring long-term projects to life that put your brand front and center and inspire lasting enthusiasm.

Join me in discovering how good design can communicate your message clearly and persuasively!
