Mag. Kerstin Muff is a dedicated cultural heritage professional with a strong background in communications, project management, and impact assessment. Born in the Dominican Republic, she has lived in South and North America but grew up in Germany, where she studied Theatre, Film, and Media at the University of Leipzig and Vienna. A true globetrotter at heart, her guiding philosophy is: “The more diverse, the better!”
With a passion for fostering collaboration and innovation in the cultural heritage sector, she has played a key role as a Project and Communication Manager for several EU-funded initiatives since 2012. Throughout her career, Kerstin has worked extensively on assessing and communicating the impact of cultural heritage initiatives which involved facilitating cross-border collaborations and ensuring that the cultural heritage sector’s impact on communities and stakeholders was recognized and strengthened.
Now, as Chief Communications Officer at the Time Machine Organisation, she continues to drive awareness of how digital innovation and cultural heritage projects create tangible benefits for society. Her work focuses on communicating the long-term impact of heritage initiatives, advocating for effective impact assessment, and ensuring that stakeholders – from policymakers to the public – understand the value of cultural heritage.
Kestin actively seeks opportunities where she can contribute to discussions on best practices, knowledge exchange, and the development of tools that help heritage professionals assess, articulate, and increase the value of their work.
