Summary

I'm a FX Artist, Generalist and Director from Berlin with a dedication to film and animation and a strong technological background.
During my studies at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg I developed a fascination for computer graphics and its experimental use for telling compelling stories.
During and after my studies I gathered experience as an artist at several companies including Electric Theatre Collective, Psyop NY and Sehsucht Berlin.
I currently work at Scanline VFX (Netflix) as a FX Artist working on feature films and series.
