Hi.
I am Friedrich Althausen,

I worked for Netflix, Disney, NBC, Microsoft, Brainlab, Adidas, Opel, Munich Airport, Captain Morgan, Škoda, Ford, Etihad, Bundesdruckerei, EVRi, hbf (health insurence), The Vegetarian Butcher and more.

I was part of the Helvetica Now Variable team.

I love sailing, cycling, canoeing, choir singing and my kids.
