Since the day I could hold a pencil I`ve been drawing and the desire and passion to draw have been part of my life. Growing up in a small village in East Frisia a northern part of Germany I had a cozy and protected childhood. I loved to go outside discovering the nature around my neighborhood. Back at home I put all the animals and creatures which I had observed down on paper.

​

While being in high-school I developed an interest in animated movies and I decided to study animation. While working on my first short-film “Paradise” I fell in love with creating moving images.

After my final secondary-school examinations I applied at several German film-schools. Every single one wrote back and invited me to their qualifying examination. I passed all the tests and decided to study at the “Filmuniversity Konrad Wolf” in Potsdam Babelsberg near Berlin.

​

I learned all the principles of animation and made a bunch of short-films in different techniques.

Now I can´t imagine a life without creating, drawing and animating.
