People
cekom’s potential is the people who work here.
It’s not only their competence that counts, but also their personalities. That’s why the following profiles mention both factors.
Dr. Thomas Corzelius
Founder and managing director of cekom
Firmly believes that usability is the ”First Commandment.” Spends half of each day at cekom doing what he would otherwise be doing at home: researching in the Internet, searching for new technologies, designing concepts… and looking for his coffee cup, his eyeglasses, or some other small object that has vanished mysteriously. He obviously loves the color red, although he has sometimes also been involved in projects of other hues.
Marcus Fornfeist
Co-partner with power of attorney, holder of a diploma in commerce
Responsible for calculations, project management, and invoicing. He’s sociable, never gives up, and doesn’t wear oversleeves to protect his shirt cuffs. Repaired an old MG B (color: British racing green) and restored it to perfect running order.
nvw
Creative director of cekom
Holder of a diploma in design, which she earned with the highest academic grades. Received a prize from Angela Merkel and dressed Cologne’s former RP as a mendicant king. Produces web design and advertising campaigns according to her gut instincts. Feels at home in Myanmar and Vietnam, too.
es
Art director for screen and print, atelier director
Mistress of all vector and graphic formats. Seems to have a built-in typometer. Special highlight: animated flash films for the Internet and as screensavers. Rides Quarter Horses. Her dog has one floppy ear.
eb
Programmer
A code warrior of the serene ilk: scientifically sound and well-founded, easygoing, and exact. Also knows an astonishingly great deal about history. Was initially restrictive about user rights because ”I didn’t yet know what sort of person you are."
rb
Media Consultant
Product-oriented media integration, project handling, structure planning, and work organization. Dances gracefully on all technical platforms. Keeps a watchful eye on trainees, who love him. (”Go to rb!” – "Not me, why don’t you go?”).
Art director for screen and print
Our second mistress of graphics and vector formats. Also active in customer contacts. Favorite sentence: ”I’m soooooo nice!” Is seldom contradicted. Famous for her silvery smile.
ms
Programmer
Even though he doesn’t own a car, you sure can’t take him for a ride. Highly focused and even-tempered, he copes with PHP, HTML and CSS blindfold. His DVD collection will probably enter the Guinness Book of Records eventually.
