To bundle ressources effectively and purposefully, grundform is the logical step. By design, commitment to quality and passion for aesthetics the three founders are united. Developing new ideas, releasing the passion for content and visual design – that is grundform. Aesthetic images attract attention, contents fascinate. We tell stories through visual images, we create emotions.

Tim Becker
For Tim, there are no complicated tasks, only interesting ones. With concentrated Houdini-like power, he supports Grundform even with the most demanding challenges. Using ChatGPT for programming is a thing of the past—Tim, as a digital multilingualist, speaks multiple programming languages. Even at meals, he likes to let his analytical mind do the talking, adding data and facts where they matter. “The early bird catches the worm,” they say. In Tim’s case, the early bird might also catch a fish sandwich. We’re glad to have you with us, Tim.
