ABOUT ME

I
, Sajjad Khatibi, was born in Karaj, Iran. In 1999, I emigrated to Europe, grew up in Frankfurt am Main, and earned my German citizenship after five years. After finishing school, I packed my bags and moved to Berlin in 2008, where I still live and work, to pursue my passion for art, design and techno. My journey began with Graphic Design studies at the Lette Verein Berlin, followed by four more years of honing my craft in Communication Design at HTW Berlin, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (with excellent results, if I may add).

From 2017, I spent nearly seven years at HEIMAT Berlin, including four years as Senior Creative (digital) on the iconic HORNBACH brand. My expertise spans multichannel and cross-media campaigns across digital, guerrilla, social, and integrated platforms — seamlessly combining TV, cinema, social media, websites, display ads, dOOH, and print to deliver impactful and cohesive experiences. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned other brands such as Jägermeister, Opel, OTTO, Trolli and Vodafone as key clients while also partnering with artists, creators and friends to push boundaries and keep things bold, fresh, and edgy.

Currently, I’m working as a Senior Creative at antoni_ and am exploring exciting new challenges to further grow and contribute my skills.

Let’s create something extraordinary that truly slays.

Until then, stay great,

Sajjad + : )
