Since 2020, Audi has been one of my main clients through gate.11. Several times a year, new vehicles are unveiled, and films are produced and adapted for various social media channels, or events such as the IAA, the GP Ice Race, or dealer events.
In spring 2022, I was commissioned to create a 3D design for the redesign of the studio at the Munich headquarters. The concept was well received and implemented exactly as envisioned.
In 2021, in collaboration with NHB in Munich, the intro for the Amazon Prime Video series “FC Bayern – Behind the Legend” was created.
BMW made a striking appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas with an unexpected color scheme.
For BMW’s exhibition at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the stand architecture team presented us with a particularly challenging setup: at the center, a large main LED, and above it, almost at a right angle, a 16-meter-long ceiling LED. The concept that emerged was to create an optical illusion. From…
Because it beautifully combined two of my passions — technical tinkering and sewing — I ventured into creating a small-scale workshop for handbags with built-in interior lighting. Unfortunately, the project didn’t turn out to be profitable, but for a few years it offered a lovely online shop and produced many…
After weeks of smoking-hot graphic tablets, the team heads to the Paris Motor Show in October to make final on-site tweaks to the BMW and MINI exhibition presentations.
In 2010, the TV appearance of Südwestrundfunk (SWR) was reimagined by the agency gate.11. Under the motto “Show Your Colors”, stunning film footage was created, which I had the honor of developing into the new face of SWR.
An entire hall for BMW! For the first time, dynamic driving presentations took place at an auto show in front of a large audience. The 750 m² LED installation stretching 300 m was truly impressive: for the half-hour shows, over 70 playback films were produced, and numerous synchronized effects with the moving…
After completing my training years, an exciting journey began with gate.11 — a journey that continues to this day. Back then as a full-time employee, today as a freelancer.
During my training in media design at the Medienakademie (known until 2007 as the “Schule für Rundfunktechnik”), I attended numerous courses, such as studio lighting, video mixing, camera and sound technology, and editing.
At the right time in the right place: during my internship at Pictorion in Munich, the company became a certified training facility, and I was immediately taken on as a media design trainee for image and sound. The areas where I spent extended time and learned the most included the…
After completing my Fachhochschulreife, I spent six months at GAP Films in Munich — an inspiring and highly educational period. During that time, I gained extensive technical knowledge, organized shoots, edited showreels, digitized Betacams and Umatics, and shared daily breakfasts with the team. I would say that the motivated and…
A wonderful period in which many important foundations were laid. Alongside theoretical knowledge, every area of craftsmanship was available to explore. Among many other things, I learned how to cast shapes in ceramics, sew a blouse, shape glass, bind a book, felt a hat, experiment with various painting and printing…
I started school at age six and completed my secondary school diploma (“Mittlere Reife”) at 16, following the language track, as I’ve always had a passion for languages. Je parle un peu français, English comes naturally, and while my Spanish is still a work in progress, I can make myself…
