I'm Annika Stefanie Cagitz, a Multimedia Art student in Communication Design based in Salzburg.
I'm passionate about turning ideas into visual stories that connect — blending creativity, storytelling, and problem-solving.
My work spans graphic design, editorial concepts, photography, and art direction, often inspired by fashion, magazines, and visual culture. I love exploring how images and words interact, how layouts guide emotions, and how design creates impact beyond aesthetics.
Curiosity drives me — whether I'm teaching kids on the ice rink, sketching at night, or exploring new cultures, each experience shapes my creative voice. At heart, I'm both designer and storyteller, using visuals to move people and spark fresh ways of thinking.
