About
Hi There,
I’m a production designer based in Berlin. As I love the whole spectrum of the work as a designer, I started working in the art department for series such as Dark and 1899 (both Netflix) while I was still studying production design. Since I graduated from Film University Babelsberg in 2022, I have been working as an art director, assistant art director and set designer on international productions such as Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 (Hulu) and Constellation (Apple TV).
Learned from scratch: My extensive knowledge of designing film sets and visual storytelling is based on a long experience that began in 2011 with an apprenticeship as a carpenter at Babelsberg Film Studio. I love the whole design process: from the conceptualization and visual design of the film to construction drawings, concept art and 3D models.
Hard Facts:
