Sabine Schrader
Art Director
1. I studied languages and multimedia in my hometown of Hannover and joined TMR in 2002.
2. The title on my business card is Art Director. This means I care for all visuals we create for our clients. As head of Sociable Creations I am also responsible for our social media work.

4. Ever since being a small child I am a huge fan of the Olympics. To bite into a gold, a silver and a bronze medal was an amazing experience for me. You don't need to understand...
5. To see wild elephants in Kenya gave me many moments of joy. To give something back, I adopted a orphaned little elephant girl called Godoma as my foster elephant as soon as I was back. Now I really would like to visit her in the orphanage in Nairobi.
