Brooklyn, NY, USA
Born in East Berlin, I moved to New York City in March of 2003. I live and work here as a photographer and graphic designer with over 10 years of experience in the interactive industry. In June 2012 I moved back to Berlin for new and exciting professional challenges.

As a lead and motion designer I deliver animation and interactive experiences in the online space for global financial, luxury and entertainment brands on a wide range of client accounts, including: American Express, Verizon, Discover Card, Samsung, Pfizer, Jones New York, Delta and many more.

With a solid technical background, I help bridge the gap between creative and production departments.
