After graduating from FH Hagenberg, I traveled across Europe working as a Visual Effects Artist for advertising and film, collaborating with top studios and winning several awards.

In 2016 I returned to Austria, where I now elevate creative departments and mentor rising teams. In my free time I make music, play sports, and explore nature with my daughter.
