I gained my first practical experience as a production assistant at Odeon Film (TV production) in Wiesbaden. This was followed by a bachelor's and master's degree in film at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Dortmund, which I completed in 2019 with a Master of Arts. As part of my studies, I studied abroad in camera at the Int. University of Film and Television (EICTV) in Cuba.

During my exams, I worked on various video projects with the folk band Dieselknecht and their label Ruhrfolk under producer Guntmar Feuerstein. The music video »The Last Poacher« was shown at several film festivals, as was the musical film »The Eternal Servant«, which was also shown in a selection of arthouse cinemas and open air festivals within Germany. In 2021, I directed the music video for the song »Aufm Deich« by singer Lisa Spielmann. The video, shot in a water tank, has been shown at over twenty film festivals so far and has won nine awards.

Since 2015 I have been working as a freelance director and cameraman for music videos, image films, documentaries and short films.
