Creative Director / Brand Strategist / Jivamukti Yoga Teacher
tessa.bastings@gmail.com
Creative Director based in Berlin with over 10 years of experience in the fashion and lifestyle industry, focusing on advertising and brand building. I combine strategic clarity with creative direction and create culture-led brands grounded in real audience insight. Understanding how people think, feel and move through their world is central to my work.
I have led creative and brand teams at Gymondo (7NXT), Breuninger and tink, shaping brand strategy, integrated marketing and 360 degree content. My experience includes guiding brand identity development, building and elevating in-house creative teams and delivering campaigns across multiple markets and touchpoints.
My personal values shape how I lead and collaborate. Authenticity, honesty and clarity guide how I make decisions, develop ideas and work with teams to create meaningful and relevant brand experiences.
