Petra Schröder
Dipl. Designerin
Petra Schröder puts her heart in her projects. All of it.
Which means food, sleep and smalltalk might not happen while the project is running. But screw that - while her communicative skills are in overdrive, everything else has to wait.
She graduated with a degree in Design from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach. This was followed by projects in film and design, as well as work on different projects in the context of art and exhibitions, for example freelancing for the Museum of Applied Arts, Hakuhodo and Saasfee.
She’s been involved in projects for Honda, Phillip Morris, ISH and Porsche.
She is the founder of Sosumi, responsible for conception, design and communication.
Dirk von Manteuffel
Dipl. Designer
Dirk von Manteuffel has a Rock 'n Roll temperament: His understanding of strategy and performance is unmistakable, all the more when a deadline is looming. He is on fire when it comes to conceptionalisation, is a designer at heart and relishes applause anywhere he can get it.
He trained as a patternmaker (casting, wood, metal, sythetics) and sculptor (wood) before graduating from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach with a degree in Design.
Worked as a freelancer for Michael Conrad & Leo Burnett, Ronge Design, and the die brut royal advertizing agency. He was responsible for planning, design and construction for different projects in the field of product development (watches, funsport, packaging), as well as planning and realization of numerous events in art, music, culture, and gastronomy.
He is the founder of Sosumi, responsible for products, design and communication.
Phyllis Kiehl
Dipl. Designerin
Phyllis Kiehl speedily writes spot-on copy from anywhere in the world.
On a desert island, she’d happily make do with a laptop and roaming internet. But having a desk at Sosumi makes project cooperation slightly easier, and the coffee is better, so she isn’t complaining.
Phyllis, too, graduated from Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach with a degree in Design. This was followed by working as a freelancer for the die brut royal Werbeagentur, J.W. Thompson and Atelier Markgraph. Since 1999, she is also responsible for the development and teaching of seminars in creative writing for charitable trusts, organisations and museums. She holds editorial control for Crespo Foundation’s online presence. At Sosumi, she’s responsible for conceptualisation and writing the copy.
