I’m originally from Munich, Germany, but I’ve lived all over the world, including Italy and several U.S. states, from California to Pennsylvania. I grew up playing soccer, skiing, and running track, with both of my parents serving as my coaches all the way through high school.

My passion for game design began at age 12, when I attended a summer program called iD Tech Camp and learned how to build Minecraft worlds. From that point on, I became fascinated with video games, both playing them and understanding how they’re made.

I grew up with two cats and a German Shepherd, and I’m currently based in Tempe, Arizona.

I’m a passionate game developer and interactive media designer currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Graphic Information Technology at Arizona State University. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Game Design and Interactive Media from Michigan State University, I’ve built a strong interdisciplinary foundation that blends visual storytelling, user-centered design, and technical innovation. My academic and creative journey has equipped me with skills in graphic design, UI/UX, and interactive media development, with a deep interest in crafting immersive digital experiences that engage and educate. One of my most rewarding projects to date was a collaborative effort with classmates to design and develop an educational game for the MSU Planetarium.
