LAYERS COLLECTIVE
Founder & Creative Director
Layers Collective is a Berlin-based music and arts collective, as well as an independent music label, that I co-founded and lead as Creative Director up to date. Over the past three years, Layers has grown into a creative network that brings together artists, producers, and performers — with a focus on highlighting FLINTA+ talent. What started as a passion project has evolved into a platform for community-driven events, music releases, and interdisciplinary collaborations. Through this journey, I’ve gained hands-on experience as creative director, producer, in event management, and brand building — shaping Layers into both a cultural space and a creative ecosystem.
As part of building Layers, I developed the entire corporate identity — from designing the website to shaping the visual language that represents the collective. Beyond that, I’ve been curating both music and arts-focused events, blending lineups with installations, performances, and exhibitions. Many of the photographic impressions and visual moments captured throughout our journey — showcased further below — were also created by me, documenting the evolving spirit of our community.
Over the past three years, Layers has collaborated with established labels, collectives, and brands, hosting over 40 events, showcases, workshops, and collaborative projects — both nationally and internationally. From renowned venues like Watergate, OHM, and international festivals like Whole, Feel, and Lighthouse, to partnerships with Electronic Beats, Dr. Martens, and respected labels such as Yoyaku Records, Tilt Label, and Wet Vienna — each collaboration has shaped our identity.
PERSONAL REFLECTION
Without a doubt, this has been one of the most challenging and formative projects I’ve taken on — but also the most fulfilling and meaningful. The opportunity to create spaces for connection, nurture community, and contribute to something greater than myself is what continues to fuel this work. Building a project with purpose, alongside others who share the same vision, has been an incredibly rewarding journey — one that keeps inspiring both personal and creative growth.
