I began my career in advertising at one of the leading international agency networks. Here I got my management basic training and also worked in conception and copywriting.
Next stop was music television, where I made my first steps in directing, journalism and producing.
Finally I went to film school and started to focus on Digital Media Production and IP development.
From day one I got in touch with digitalisation and the first waves of disruption to the media industry.
I saw desktop publishing turn print upside down, digital post production hit film making and experienced the the dawn of file sharing at the music industry.
Filmschool gave me the opportunity to develop a first strategy how to deal with convergence and the influence of digital technology on marketing and content creation.
Here I shaped my skills for the everchanging needs of the industry. More than a decade of ongoing success in different fields of the business feels like a proof of concept.
My colleagues and me built up Elektrofilm, and we became one of the leading full service providers for Visual Effects, Digital Postproduction and associated co-production services in Germany and Europe.
For Elektrofilm in 2007 I aqcuired and produced the VFX for „Die Gustloff“-
The show with the biggest VFX budget awarded to single company at that time in German TV.
In 2008 I founded my own company, started to develop projects and my business as Digital Architect.
I worked on shows like „Game of Thrones“, „Independence Day: Resurgence“ and „Shannara Chronicles“ where I supervised and managed Visual Effects and Post Production.
Today my work-history includes more than 100 projects during development, production and post production.
From 2012 to 2014 I was Managing Director of the renowned international FMX Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Transmedia.
My responsibility included the conference’s overall strategy, conception and hosting the Animation Production Day (APD), a business platform for animation projects.
My job lead me around the world from Duesseldorf to Berlin, London, Los Angeles and other places, finally Cologne.
