ABOUT ME

I was born as a very small person in the late summer of 1977. With an English mother and a father originally from the East of Germany, I came into being in Cologne in a wondrous way.

Everything went quite quickly from then on. During a school year in England I learned to use pencils and when I saw Photoshop 2.0 for the first time at the tender age of 17, I knew I wanted to become a graphic designer. The following years I spent my time in Bournemouth at the seaside, Düsseldorf in the city and Dornbirn in the moun- tains of Austria developing myself into one.

Eventually I found my way back to Cologne, where I use my time creating printed matter, illustrations, animations and web pages.
