I was born in Ulm, a small town in South Germany,… but with the tallest church in the world the Ulmer Minster. In Kassel I graduated in new media and animation at the School of Arts and Design Kassel.
Having a strong background in digital productions, animation and short films, I did concepts for public art and interactive video installations and have years’ experience in theatre, video documentations, digital video solution strategies and broadcast productions. I developed several educational projects and concepts for children and youth and run puppet animation workshops for young people eight to fourteen.
I love to combine new technology and educational work as I am convinced that this offers great chances in creative work and in young peoples’ development.
Since living in London I worked as freelancer in advertising. With my partner I founded What Is It Production to work further in interaction design and production as well as in development of application supporting children’s power of imagination and motor skills.
Integrating new media like mobile or web applications and games in my works increases the awareness of using technology in our everyday life and also teaches new possibilities how to use these sensible and creatively.
