2009: study scholarship
Mediadesign Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences (Berlin)

Driven by passion for films, art and computer generated content I decided to start studying 3D Animation and visual effects at Mediadesign Hochschule Berlin, formerly known as The German Filmschool, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in March 2013. Fascinated from topics like lighting, building shader networks, rendering approaches and scripting helpful tools, I started to specialize on CG look development, lighting and rendering. My constant curiosity to the technical aspects of CGI productions leaded to learn Python and work hard understanding the nature around me to project this into my imagery. I'm permanently interested in learning new workflows and toolsets to solve increasing problems of ambitious productions.
