My Strengths
I would describe myself as highly engaged, empathic and goal-oriented. I am happy to do my job with all its facets and enjoy to do it with full commitment. My enthusiasm for the visual beauty of this world brought me to graphic design. My striving for personal development brought me to coaching. All the positive feedback and compliments for my work through the years were always motivation and at the same time confirmation.
Studies and Advanced Training
I started my graphic design studies at the University of Applied Sciences Niederrhein (diploma in communications design). After the basic study I changed over to the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg due to my specialisation in typography. I conducted my coaching study and specialisation in England because coaching in English-speaking countries is based on sound scientific research and is more comprehensive and profound.
Foundation: Roether | Huwald GbR (2003)
The foundation of Roether | Huwald GbR with Dr Michael Roether brought together the whole service portfolio of graphic design and management and strategy consulting. In the context of our joint work, we discovered coaching as an effective method to develop ourselves further and to improve our services considerably. It was immediately clear: coaching does not only help us but will also help our clients! The demand was identified and ‘Executive Coaching’ established itself as the third big area in our service portfolio.
Marion Huwald, Bureau for Visual Communication (1997 – 2003)
I started my self-employment with a big corporate design assignment for an IT company based in Munich, including: a company logo, business documents, business cards, product brochures with a demanding feather edge and high-quality product folder with a slipcase. New successful projects followed in different industries, for example environmental education, health care, consulting companies, catering, etc.
Freelancer for Well-Known Graphic Design Agencies (1994 – 1997)
During my graphic design studies, I worked as a freelancer and oversaw or worked for projects of big customers like PIAGGIO (Vespa) or PCI Augsburg GmbH. I created ideas, implemented them and gathered experience – the optimal starting point for becoming self-employed.
