COSMOPOLA was born from a deep passion for creativity, connection, and bold storytelling — and it all started with a yellow backpack.

After starting my career as a photographer, I left Vienna in my early twenties in search of more: more diversity, more inspiration, more voices, more love (maybe). That search led me to Berlin — a city full of raw energy and creative potential, which I’ve proudly called home ever since.

Over the years, I immersed myself in the worlds of fashion, photography, advertising, and publishing — not just behind the camera, but also as a photo editor and magazine manager. Along the way, I discovered what truly lights me up: empowering other artists, and helping them thrive.

In 2013, I founded COSMOPOLA as a talent agency representing photographers, illustrators, and video artists I believed in — people whose work inspired me. Since then, we’ve grown into a global network of creative thinkers, collaborating with leading brands to produce bold, culturally resonant campaigns.

Today, COSMOPOLA is more than an agency — we’re a creative family. We connect iconic brands with visionary talent, blending artistic representation, talent management and content inhouse production. With sharp ideas, strong skills, and an eye for detail, we create work that connects — and keeps our clients coming back.
