Maximilian Nertinger (*1988) began his studies in communication design (focus on infographics) at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg in 2006. After transferring to the Italian University ISIA UrbinoII, he finished his degree with his thesis on Wayfinding in early 2011. Ever since, his work as information designer at Berlin agency C3 (formerly known as KircherBurkhardt) continues to revolve around finding new paths.

At C3, Nertinger specialised in cartography and geo visualization and works mainly on cartography projects. He also develops concepts and designs infographics for both print and digital media.
