Iulia Alina Iorga
Video archives and research

There are moments in life when you make surprising decisions. For me, this moment came when I exchanged the white coat of a veterinary scientist for a huge archive of video material from space. Since 2010 I have been taking care of enquiries from all around the world, helping to find the appropriate five minutes out of 150,000 minutes of film material for our customers’ TV reports, research and marketing projects or exhibitions.

Key responsibilities at Design & Data:

Stefanie Jung
Graphic artist

Even as a child I was always seen with a pencil in my hand, and as time passed I exchanged it for a paintbrush and digital Wacom pen. My favourite pastime is illustration, although I feel at home in all other areas of graphic and object design as well. Creativity is an important element in my life and I am happy that I am able to let my imagination run free for the customers and projects at Design & Data.

Andre Knüfing
Media information scientist

Learning something new every day, particularly when it is connected with technology, has always been my motto. Both while studying media informatics in Cologne and in my career to date, I have always had an opportunity to do exactly that, for example as a webcast producer, media recording technician and iPhone app developer. It is no different at Design & Data: I have been at the company from day one and every day I am faced with a new challenge which I solve with and for our customers.
