Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists

When I saw the movie Frozen and realized how much detail and thought there is behind everything. That's when I knew I wanted to be a part of building a story.

I started drawing, writing and even game designing as a young child. This is true: I used to build my own board games based on books I really liked, such as Percy Jackson. My parents raised me on novels & old point-and-click games, and when I turned 7, they gave me my own PC (an old Windows XP work laptop), which I used exclusively to write fantastical short stories, which I would then print out & lovingly illustrate by hand. I've loved stories all my life, and I love making them come to life.

I always new that I want to work in the creative industrie. First I was really into Photography and Film, only later on in my bachelor studies I discovered my interest in 3D modelling and animation. Since I started a "Digital Arts" master with a focus on these topics, but also try and learn a lot of through online tutorials. For my masters project I created the animated shortfilm Shroomsday wihich started my career in the field.

From a very young age on I loved creating Art, Videos and any other form of entertainment for myself or my family. Though I only had limited tool I was eager to learn and always tried new things. Out of passion I decided to get an education wich provided me with a broad field of subjects. FH Hagenberg was perfect for this. I discovered new things everyday and tried improving myself in private all the time. I really found something special for me and love working on different projects.

Since I was a little kid I enjoyed playing around with different "creative" computer programs like Paint, Photoshop etc. After that I enjoyed all the different kinds of level editors. I created levels for my brother in Age of Mythology or played around with the amazing level editor of Little Big Planet. Falling in love with games lead to my goal to pursue a creative career in the video game industry!

I first wanted to work in this field when I started the Semester Projects of my University, where we made a little game. Since then, I am eager to learn as much about Game Design and 3D Content Creation as possible.

In School

The first time I notized I wanted to go into creative media was in middle school while I was dead set on becoming a biologist. But then I had an introduction to computers class and noticed that I enjoyed designing PowerPoint slides way more than remembering a ton of latin names. From then on my passion quickly turned to photography, video editing and as soon as I noticed the 3D capabilities of After Effects the route to 3D was set.
