My name is Sophie and I'm an Art Education student from Leipzig. At the moment I'm doing an Erasmus semester as a Fine Art student in Leeds. Living in the UK for a while was always a wish of me and so I chose Leeds for my abroad semester. Now I'm really excited to get to now the country better, see different places and travel around before I'm going back to Leipzig to finish my studies.

Интересы

I study Art Education and Fine Art at the moment and draw, take analog photographies and print quite a lot in my free time. After finishing my Art Education studies I wanna start to study Graphic and Communication Design because I just discovered design and illustrations is the thing I really wanna do. I also work as a journalist for an online music magazine which I love and spent three years working at the university radio station in Leipzig.

I love drinking coffee in the morning and drawing or having looong conversations while I put on some of my favourite playlists. On weekends I like to go out to concerts of my favourite artists, shabby bars or some techno partys.
