Filmmaker and media artist at the intersection of documentary, fiction, and moving image.

Based in Hessen, Germany, I am a writer, director, and producer working across film, documentary, and music video. My practice draws from a multidisciplinary background in fine art, photography, soundscape composition, and exhibition curation — bringing a layered, sensory sensibility to every project.

Currently completing an MA in Media Studies, I am the founder of Coffee & Cheese Studio, a forthcoming creative workshop, and bagiyaa, an initiative dedicated to sustainability and the green movement. Whether through cinematic storytelling or environmental advocacy, my work explores the intersection of culture and ecology.

Open to internship, Werkstudent, and freelance opportunities in film production, museums, and cultural institutions.
