I was born in West Berlin, lived in Botswana, and completed my school education at the UWCSA Waterford Kamhlaba in Eswatini, earning an International Baccalaureate (IB)
Returning to Germany, I studied animation at Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen Konrad Wolf, completing my studies with my stop-motion graduation film Größenwahn.
For the next several years, I worked as a 3D character animator in the industry, contributing to a diverse portfolio of projects. These included museum installations like Art+Com’s Juraskope for Naturkundemuseum Berlin, documentaries including Eingemauert! – 20 Jahre Mauerfall and Neukölln Unlimited. As well as feature films such as Zwei zum Fressen Gern and Lissi und der Wilde Kaiser, and commercial work for clients including M&C Saatchi for Ferrero.
To re-analogize myself after years of digital work and deepen my understanding of physical form, I attended the figurative sculpture program at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy.
Returning to Germany again, I joined the animation department at my alma mater, now Filmuniversity Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, where I taught creative production processes in computer animation, mainly modelling and rigging. I played a central role in establishing technological systems such as motion capture, stereolithographic 3D printing, and photogrammetry. Moreover, I assumed professorial responsibilities for three semesters, teaching both live-drawing and figurative sculpture.
My ongoing oscillation between analogue and digital 3D worlds led me to embark on a fellowship-supported scientific-artistic PhD journey at Filmuniversity Babelsberg, earning my doctorate in 2024. 
My research examines how three-dimensional artistic creation processes engage the entire human perceptual system across art anatomy, sculpture, and stop-motion animation, with my artistic project Pomona reflecting these theoretical findings through a hybrid approach that bridges analogue and digital methodologies.
Currently, I’m working as a 3D animator in both stop-motion and computer animation while continuing my teaching practice. My ongoing research builds upon my doctoral work, focusing on historical animation techniques and their contemporary applications.
