Mintcreative

What Mintcreative does

Mintcreative is a Munich-based, founder-owned design agency founded in 2016 by Kristin Obermaier, operating with a team of six from an Altbau office in Munich-Schwabing (Clemensstraße 41, 80803 München). The firm delivers four integrated service lines: Brand Design (logo, corporate identity, brand guidelines, illustration, motion, social media concepts), Digital Design / UX UI (customer journeys, prototypes, information architecture, design systems, corporate websites, digital platforms, and apps), E-Commerce (mobile-first B2C and B2B shop design), and Print (editorial, packaging, lookbooks, annual reports, trade-show and event materials). Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on a portfolio website, direct outreach, and referrals, with custom project quotes rather than standardized pricing.

The agency works with a horizontal customer mix spanning startups (Checkupbox, VIA Battery, Vianoa Health), mid-market firms (Wealthpilot, Envola, Pharmos Natur, FinCo Partners), and DAX-listed enterprises (GEA Group AG, Birkenstock, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Hogan Lovells, Hofbräu München, HABA, Holtzbrinck Buchverlage), plus public-sector work such as the Munich 2. S-Bahn-Stammstrecke digital project handbook. Delivery is powered by industry-standard design and collaboration tools — Figma, Sketch, Zeplin, InVision, Miro, Jira, Confluence — with no proprietary technology platform, API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.

Commercially, Mintcreative generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, scoping and pricing each project individually based on client requirements. It is a private, bootstrapped entity (legal name: Mintcreative Designagentur, incorporated in Germany, VAT ID DE306335277) with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Geographic scope is limited to the DACH region, with no global delivery claim, and senior creative capacity has been incrementally expanded through partners such as Kristina Daues (Branding and Creative Direction) alongside dedicated UX/UI designers.
