ABOUT

As long-term specialist for immersive media I am experienced in building up, implementing and leading VR departments for big companies like the international operating TV and film production company TVN GROUP.

I produce 360° and VR experiences for renowned customers like the European Union, Deutsche Telekom, arte, Techniker Krankenkasse or Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit in the various fields of application are education, healthcare, entertainment and politics. Many of the projects were internationally nominated and awarded.

As an expert for immersive storytelling and 360° film production I join international leading VR and media events as speaker or jury member.

I always loved immersive media - during my studies of Art History and Communication Design at the Brunswick University of Art, I focused on 2D and 3D animated movies and 360° film production. My master thesis was an international 360° Fulldome Film, combined with live action. The co-production has been nominated and awarded several times and is now running at several international planetariums of New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Wolfsburg, Leicester and Espinho.
