About Me

I’m working in the industry for 10 years already – and additionally studied Game Design 3.5 years before!

For me it’s always fascinating to design systems of well-considered elements from which so many interesting dynamics, fun, and emotions can arise.

In my free time I watch all kinds of movies, listen to unknown bands, discover interesting games, make music (I play piano and bass guitar), cook, read, do sports, go into nature or visit exhibitions.
