I’m a curious & optimistic person who loves to creatively express themselves. I enjoy games, books, art galeries, concerts, walks in nature, (bird) photography, museums and good food.
I studied Computational Linguistics & Oriental Studies in Erlangen, Germany & obtained my academic degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA) there. It set off my search for digital solutions to teach empathy by finding ways to understand and share language and culture.
I received the academic degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Game Science with a specialization in Computer Science (Games) in Bayreuth, Germany. This improved my understanding of games and digital media in general and thought me how create different forms of interactive art, including games.
After working fulltime as Technical Artist @ TheraBytes in Munich, Germany – creating visual effects and diving deep in shader magic ✨, I transitioned into being a Producer. I’ve supervised a console port, games in different phases of production, and lead exciting innovative collaborative projects with research faculties.
Currently I’m on a small solo dev adventure, raising awareness to some creatures that usually don’t receive a lot of love: moths!
Video games are great at allowing players to learn at their own pace. It makes it possible to teach a big audience important messages without the dull experience of sitting in a boring classroom. Instead they spark emotions that let us learn those messages on a personal level.
But as important and benefitial games itself are, I’m convinced that game development itself should also spark joy. I refuse to participate in crunch culture and will always fight for the best working conditions for my teams that are reasonably possible while still reaching project goals in time, money and quality.
It’s a challenge, but I’m all in for that. Let us all create & enjoy some art! ✌ ♡
