A BIT OF A GENERALIST NOWADAYS, WORKING AS AN ART DIRECTOR, FILMMAKER, DESIGNER, ARTIST & PAINTER. MAINLY FOR ADS, FILM, BOOKS AND GAMES. SOFT SPOT FOR ANIMATION, ART, OLD-SCHOOL HIP-HOP AND OLD SKATEBOARD VHS TAPES.
TO MAKE THINGS SHORT, THE FOLLOWING THINGS HERE ARE WHAT MATTER TO ME: WORK AND SPEND TIME WITH GOOD PEOPLE, HAVE FUN, MAKE THINGS WITH YOUR HANDS, TRY TO ENJOY THE PROCESS, EVEN ON BAD DAYS, DON'T GATEKEEP AND SHARE YOUR SMART-ASS THOUGHTS WITH OTHERS, ALWAYS SAY HI TO THE DOGGO, BE KIND.
AND AS A FINAL SHAMELESS PLUG, OCCASIONALLY YOU CAN FIND MY SKETCHES PRINTED ON SHIRTS AND OTHER STUFF.
OVER THE YEARS, I'VE WORKED FOR END CLIENTS INCLUDING UEFA, AMAZON PRIME SPORTS, FC BAYERN, PORSCHE, BUNDESLIGA, AUDI, DFB, BMW, VOLKSWAGEN, ARD, EUROSPORT, OLYMPIC CHANNEL, TELEKOM AND SIXT.

I WORK WITHIN A CREATIVE COLLECTIVE IN MUNICH, WHERE I'M VERY CLOSE TO A NETWORK TO A NETWORK OF FREELANCE PROFESSIONALS, WORKING IN PRODUCING, CINEMATOGRAPHY, DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY. THIS COMES IN HANDY WHEN IT'S ABOUT ASSEMBLING TAILORED, CREATIVE TEAMS WHENEVER PROJECTS REQUIRE COLLABORATION.
WHILE WORKING AS A FILMMAKER AND COMMERCIAL ARTIST IS FULFILLING AND SERVES AS A SOLID ANCHOR IN DAY TO DAY LIFE, I STILL WANTED TO FIND AN OUTLET FOR MY RANDOM AND PERSONAL SKETCHES. STUFF THAT I WOULD DRAW IN MY SCHOOL BOOKS AS A KID.
OVER TIME THE STYLE FOUND ITS WAY INTO SOME OF MY COMMERCIAL WORK, INCLUDING AN AMAZON PRIME SPORTS UCL OPENER AND SOME ANIMATION WORK FOR SPORTS PROMOS, BUT I'M STILL KEEPING IT AS PERSONAL AND FUN AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU WANT A SHIRT OR WHATEVER I STILL HAVE IN STOCK, YOU CAN SLIDE INTO MY DM'S BELOW.

I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK, RAISED AROUND AND IN MUNICH, AND STARTED MY CAREER IN FILM AT 17, WORKED IN POST-PRODUCTION FIRST, BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A FREELANCE GENERALIST, ADDING FILMMAKING, PAINTING, ART DIRECTION AND CREATIVE LEADERSHIP TO THE THINGS I DO NOWADAYS.
CREATIVELY, I PULL MOST OF MY INSPO FROM 80S MOVIES, GRAPHIC NOVEL INKING STYLES, 2D ANIMATION, FASHION DESIGN, JAPANESE AESTHETICS, OLD SKATEBOARD TAPES AND STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I FOCUS ON EVERYTHING HUMAN-MADE BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE, AND MAYBE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY WORK AND HOW I APPROACH THINGS. BEING IN A CURIOSITY-BASED LEARNING-STATE IS SOMETHING THAT I DON'T REALLY THINK WE SHOULD GIVE UP.
IF THAT EVER CHANGES, YOU'LL FIND ME SELLING MY OWN TACOS SOMEWHERE IN MUNICH.
