CV
I studied communication science and philosophy, graduating in 2011, where I developed a strong interest in media theory. During and after my first degree, I worked across a wide range of creative fields, from journalistic writing and film production to games and interactive art installations, taking on various roles across different projects.
In 2015, I deepened my focus on interactive media by studying game design, graduating in 2020. Throughout the program, my work centered on experimental design patterns, performative aspects of games, and the intersection of play, art, and cultural spaces. I collaborated with institutions such as the Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt am Main and led multiple cross-disciplinary projects with GRIPS Theater Berlin as game design lead and technical director.
I am currently developing the indie game KIEZPUNK and preparing the foundation of a small independent game studio.
