Early beginnings and University

I have always been fascinated by cleverly designed websites that made my fingers tickle. When I was a teenager, I felt that I wanted to make this my job someday. After thousands of tutorials and DIY projects, I started studying human-computer interaction in 2015 to give my idea a solid foundation.

Corporate and agency experience

My first jobs led me through a small Wordpress agency, an automotive corporation and finally to a renowned digital agency in Hamburg. After graduating, I grew from a working student to a creative technologist and discovered I felt most at home in the interplay between technology and design. This is where my first projects for really big clients and internationally renowned brands followed.

Flexible freelancing

During all this time, playing drums in bands has always been one more passion. However, the life of a touring musician requires a lot of flexibility and commitment, so in 2023 I decided to take the step into freelancing - without training wheels.
