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.
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 graphics department with After Effects and 3D workstations, the Avid editing suites, the technical department with various MAZ devices, the color grading suites, and of course the reception, where I welcomed clients and handled phone calls.
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 dedicated atmosphere there had a lasting influence on my own professional approach.
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 techniques, and knot a real-hair wig.
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 understood.
I was born in 1986 in Munich and grew up in Vaterstetten. Despite coming from a family of native Bavarians, I’m the only one who doesn’t speak the dialect. Yes, I think that’s a shame too. On the bright side, I’ve always had top marks in grammar and spelling. ☝️🤓
