The Travel Log

Welcome aboard! This creative journey traces the miles of my work in design, media, and storytelling. Every project marks a stop, from crafting visual identities and digital campaigns to capturing live moments through photography and video.

What began as curiosity behind the lens grew into a path filled with creative challenges, collaborations, and new destinations in multimedia and marketing. Each checkpoint along Friede’s Roadmap represents growth, skill, and discovery, and the road ahead is always open for new adventures.
