Our Team

Yannick

Hi, I’m Yannick, I’m from the Black Forest in Germany and founded this magazine in 2019. I have been vegetarian since I was 6 years old and have been vegan for several years. It has always been important to me to inspire people by sharing how extensive and easy a vegan diet can be without proselytizing. That’s why I founded this magazine!

Anna

Hi, I’m Anna!

Optimist, passionate cook and runner.

I want to inspire people to cook more with whole foods and show them that healthy food can taste really good.

Healthy food should be simple and nutritious. I am a professional food, photo and videographer and am happy to share my delicious recipes with you on This is Vegan.

Jennifer

Hi, I’m Katrin.

When I was 11, I took a typewriter course to be able to write stories faster. I studied journalism, economic policy, politics and German studies – because I wanted to become a journalist and therefore know as much as possible. I worked in radio, TV and print media and went into public relations after graduation. In 2001, I founded my own PR agency: KASPER Kommunikation.

My focus: media work for vegan brands. I have been vegan since 2009, I have been a vegetarian since I was four years old (because I felt sorry for the animals). In order to position the topic of vegan in the media and to anchor it deeply in society, I also like to work as a journalist. The typewriter course of my earlier years still benefits me today.

Sabrina

Hi, I’m Sabrina!

After I recently completed my studies “Something with Media” in beautiful Offenburg, Germany, I now work as a freelancer in the media industry.

When I discovered the vegan lifestyle 8 years ago, I tried to combine it with my learned skills and hobbies: This resulted in a YouTube channel with recipes and entertainingly designed information about veganism and sustainability, and a food blog on Instagram.

Today, food photography continues to be one of my biggest hobbies and at the same time an inspiration for those who want to approach the topic of vegan nutrition – and I am very much looking forward to inspiring you with my recipes for healthy, tasty dishes! 🙂

Miriam

My name is Miriam,
I live in Rust and work at Europa Park. Here I am in charge of occupational health management.

Healthy, balanced and sustainable nutrition is an important cornerstone of our OHM and employee catering. In cooperation with Yannick, we have already been able to offer high-quality and tasty vegan products in our canteens. The employees are now increasingly accessing the vegan menus.
Of course, we are pleased about this, because healthy employees are a company’s most important resource.

But we are also increasingly offering vegan options for visitors to the park, and the topic of sustainability is very important to us. We are proud to report no more plastic at the stalls in the park.
Our future plans include many more vegan options.
Amusement park and veganism – how is that supposed to work?
We are optimistic!

Back to me:
Personally, I have been living “as vegan as possible” for many years, be it in nutrition, care products, or clothing. I feel much better than I did before transition to a more vegan lifestyle – I’m healthier and happier!

I studied occupational health management and earned an additional qualification as a nutritionist. Currently I am continuing my education as a naturopathy consultant.
My guiding principle at work as well as in my private life are the 5 pillars of health (naturopathy).

It is a matter close to my heart to pass on the topics of sustainability and nutrition to my and many other children. I am able to do this as an ambassador of the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk.
I’m so happy to be here with TiV and to meet you!

PS: Due to my many years of experience as a model, I am also very interested in the beauty and make-up area!

Noëmi

Hey – I’m Noëmi and a real foodie!

I love to cook and express my creativity! That’s why I quickly let myself be inspired by new vegan recipes, which I present, film and photograph in an appealing way. Since December 2021, I have been using on Instagram sharing my favorite recipe creations.
I have been vegan since 2017 and believe that good food and an example are very effective in bringing other people closer to the vegan lifestyle. Over the years, I’ve learned so much and shown many people around me that vegan nutrition isn’t as boring and monotonous as they might have thought.
In addition, I like to write a lot and am constantly looking for new challenges to let off steam creatively.

I am very happy that as part of This is Vegan I have an even greater opportunity to inspire more people to a cruelty-free lifestyle.

Anne

I was looking for a more ecological, moral and healthy lifestyle on my trip around the world and found it in veganism.

As a vegan novice, I am interested in everything worth knowing about “veganism”. Through my own interest and research, I then came to writing. Through my articles I want to inspire you towards veganism and make it easier for you to implement this attitude to life in all areas.

Maria

Hey, I’m Mary!
I have been vegetarian since 2013 and have been vegan for about three years – so I have dealt more and more with the topic step by step and have already been able to inspire a few people in my area towards a vegetarian / vegan diet. I learned that vegan nutrition definitely does not mean renunciation, but on the contrary: I have learned to love so many new foods for me. So I am looking forward to inspiring more people for the vegan lifestyle!

Claudia

Hi, I’m Claudia, originally from Munich, but now I’m at home in the beautiful Allgäu and have previously made stops in many countries (Switzerland, Australia, Central / South America) professionally and privately. My vegetarian lifestyle started in 1994 and since 2014, I have gone vegan. I have a deep love of animals! I find it super exciting to see how vegetarianism / veganism is dealt with in foreign countries and will provide you with some exciting travel reports with restaurant tips for your future travels.

I left after 20 years in the sports fashion design industry to instead dedicate myself to sustainable, healthy, unpackaged food as a saleswoman in an unpacked shop in Memmingen. I also give vegan nutrition consulting. I will share all the best tips, which you can easily implement in everyday life.

Recently, I have also been experimenting a lot with fermentation in my kitchen: sauerkraut, kombucha, vegan cheese and yogurt – it always remains exciting in my kitchen!

Stephie

Hey, I’m Stephi! As a newcomer to veganism and due to my intolerances, I have come to deal even more intensively with cooking, regional and seasonal cuisine. Working with TiV gives us thousands of opportunities to exchange ideas and enrich each other – I’m looking forward to it!

Tina

Hello everyone! I’m Tina.

Like very few, I managed to switch to a vegan lifestyle overnight. I am happy to help and share with you the latest information about a vegan everyday life!
Due to my studies in foreign languages (literature & culture), interculturality is very important to me and therefore I try to learn as much as possible from other nations and exchange ideas accordingly.
I am looking forward to delighting you with my articles!

Saskia
