When I was in 10th grade and drew everywhere possible.

I grew up in a story-teller family where Grocery Shopping was described as the biggest adventure. I watched many series and films and understood early that I want to learn how to make them. I was 17 when I did my first internship in a German TV Series as a 2nd AD. After that, I was in love. I helped out in different student projects in various departments and my first location manager job in a student project showed me my passion for producing. After that I applied at Filmacademy and got in.

Back when the internet was still filled with small flash cartoons I discovered that this might actually be something I could do for (maybe) ever!

I first realized my passion for the creative industry at a young age when I started making animated shorts. The ability to evoke emotion, convey messages and spark imagination through the medium of animation resonated deeply with me and fueled my desire to contribute to the vibrant world of the creative industries.

Already in school, i loved to draw and being creative. Soon I discovered my passion for film and 3D Animation.

I grew up in a family of creatives. My father is a painter, my mother a graphic designer, so I got an early education in the visual art. When I was 10 I discovered a second passion of mine - making music. A medium to combine the two was easily found, so I started to get my fingers into the craft of animation. And now I'm here.

When I talked to my dad, who is a musician as a kid and he told me that people get payed for creating stuff.

I started watching speedarts

I'm an Animation & Effects Producing student at the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg looking forward to graduating this year while working as an Animation Coordinator. I have a great passion for teamwork, problem-solving and communication. Experience already gained during projects include VFX, Full CG / 3D and working with Virtual Production / LED Cave. New challenges and innovations motivate me.

When I was 8 years old and editing my own little home made movies.

I was always very creative but over time also found my love for programming and all the techy stuff.

I've always wanted to work in the creative industries, first as a writer and then discovering the awesome world of animation!

After buying my first crappy camcorder and filming + editing random things by the end of my A-levels, I started studying audivisual media with the goal of becoming an editor. During my studies I went to my first FMX and immediately fell in love with the craft of vfx. Since then I switched 100% to vfx and cg and am currently realising the projects I have always dreamed of doing.

I have started drawing from a young age and since then never stopped striving for a job in the creative industry.

As a kid i saw, a background artist for animation shows on TV, it looked like the best job ever.

I've always loved telling and creating stories. I started doing small film projects during High School, especially enjoying cinematography and editing. After High School, I began studying with the intention to go into filmmaking. I started taking classes in computer animation and was instantly hooked by the amazing, seemingly limitless opportunities to create imaginative stories and beautiful images.
