Tatjana Albrandt
I was born in April 1988 in Uzbekistan.
Later on, I studied visual communication at the faculty of design in the university of applied science Darmstadt. From my studies, I got graduated with visual sense and responsibility.
I worked for AStA Darmstadt, Perspektivy association, Arno Schmidt foundation, Technical University of Darmstadt, taundma, Sivananda Ashram and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

AStA DARMSTADT
One of the first jobs I would like to mention is working for the AStA Darmstadt. It is the executive committee of the student's council. I was organizing political and student council relevant gatherings for the whole student community of Darmstadt.
PERSPEKTIVEN E. V.
I also worked for Perspektivy in St. Petersburg, Russia. An organization that helps children and grown-ups with special needs to find their place in the Russian society. With the support of the European Union, the organization was able to launch the project “Osobij Dom” — supported living of people with disabilities. I was developing the logo for the project as well as getting to know how horrifically terrible the conditions are in Russia for people with special needs.
Afterwards I spend some time in India. It taught me how much of what I think I am, is actually a reflection of my society.
CASED – ADVANCED SECURITY CENTER
While I was getting ready to finish my studies of design, I started to work for CASED, an IT research center. I wanted to get a better understanding of the IT-sector that so far for me consisted only of HTML and CSS, the mark-up languages that I was familiar with. So I learned what is Cryptology and why data security is so important, while designing logos.
ARNO SCHMIDT FOUNDATION
Meanwhile, I was part of this successful and fun project with the Arno Schmidt foundation and their typographer, Friedrich Forssman, in an internship. Arno Schmidt was a writer that used to live in Darmstadt for a short period of time. In order to celebrate his 100th anniversary, the foundation rented an advertising column that stood right in front of his former house. This column he dedicated one of his books “Tina oder über die Unsterblichkeit” (transl. “Tina or about the immortality”) to. It was on us to revive — visualize — the connection for a whole year.
TAUNDMA BLOG & SIVANANDA ASHRAM
After my graduation, I started a travel blog. I set up a presentation, convinced some partners to sponsor me and went to Canada. I dreamt of finding myself in the wild loneliness. So I found myself in the Sivananda Ashram as a Hands-On Graphic Designer getting into Instagram.
SECUSO RESEARCH GROUP
Back in Germany, CASED transformed themselves into CYSEC. And there SECUSO was born, asking me if I would like to join the research team as a designer. The interdisciplinary research team includes the human factor into IT-security. The research focus is on communicating IT-security to the user — only an informed user can react conscious to IT-threat. So I joined the team developing visual solutions for Privacy Friendly Apps and information materials in order to educate users.
AMIEL TOURS
A few years later I moved to Israel. Here I started to work for Amiel Tours in tourism. The company was expanding into the German market and was looking for German speakers and I thought: “I speak German. I can do that.” I started to get to know Israel and it’s working culture as I found myself organizing tours through Eretz Israel. Unfortunately, tourism was hit very badly by the coronavirus and a lot of people had to leave …
