about me

Born in West Berlin and educated across three continents (Botswana, Eswatini’s UWCSA Waterford Kamhlaba), I studied animation at Filmuniversity Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, graduating with my stop-motion film Größenwahn.

I spent years as a 3D character animator on projects from museum installations (Museum of Natural History Berlin’s Juraskope) to feature films (Lissi und der Wilde Kaiser), but increasingly felt drawn back to analog making. This led me to Florence Academy of Art’s figurative sculpture program, and eventually to a fellowship-supported PhD examining how 3D artistic processes engage the entire human perceptual system.

My doctoral film Pomona bridges analog stop-motion and digital animation through photogrammetry, embodying my research into embodied knowledge in animation. I currently work between stop-motion and computer animation while teaching and pursuing research on historical animation techniques and their contemporary applications.
