Summary

After graduating from the HTK Academy as an Communication Designer with a focus on Illustration, I both freelanced and worked inhouse as Lead Artist and Art Director for over a decade. Currently I'm employed at Ulisses Spiele, Europe's largest producer / purveyor of TableTop RPGs. I'm based in Heidelberg, Germany.

Strong worldbuilding excites me and I love working hand-in-hand with other creatives from concept to shipping. All my work is customized and hand-crafted. No shortcuts. No AI involved.

My career includes creating high-profile work for IPs of SIXMOREVODKA Studio, Games Workshop, Son of Oak, Amigo Spiele, Ulisses Spiele, Heyne Verlag, Piper Verlag; and novels by George R. R. Martin, Bernhard Hennen, among others. My award-winning work contributed to over 300+ products divided into dozens of product lines, video games, and international bestsellers.
