My

In addition to my enthusiasm for creative work, my media design studies (Bachelor of Science) at the RWU in Weingarten form the basis for my skills.

Thanks to the wide range of subjects on offer and the subsequent opportunities to specialize, I was able to delve deeply into individual areas of design without losing sight of other disciplines.

Although the courses laid important theoretical foundations for technical and creative skills, it was particularly worthwhile thanks to the many practical projects. This meant I was able to consolidate what I had learned directly in project work and practice valuable teamwork skills.

You can find many examples of projects from my studies here on my portfolio page.


As part of a 6-month internship, I worked on several 3D visualizations of construction projects and later, as a working student, I served as a temporary replacement for the lead 3D artist while he was on vacation. As a result I also was the contact person for the next interns at the company for that time.

Although many of my skills are the result of my studies, their roots go back to earlier years. Creativity has been an important part of my life since I was a child - from drawing and painting in my free time to the advanced art course at high school. I was also always interested in technology. In 2015, I gained my first experience in video editing and got to know programs like Photoshop.

Today, I continue to strive to develop my skills with experience from a variety of sources. In addition to my freelance business, I also work in the creative field in my main job and often devote my free time to creative projects as well. This allows me to constantly work on my techniques and develop new workflows.
