about me

I am a 22 year old design student at the UAS Nürnberg with a focus on UX/UI, cinematography and CGI. I am eager to apply my skills to creatively solve problems. Have a scroll first through the design principles I stand by and afterwards to my portfolio to get to know me and my work better.

design principles

human-centered

I conduct research, create user personas, and test designs iteratively to ensure usability and accessibility. This ensures the design is intuitive, functional, and addresses real-world user problems effectively.

simple

I focus on clean layouts, clear visual hierarchies, and concise communication. Every element should serve a purpose. This minimizes cognitive load and enhances user engagement and comprehension.

harmonious

I use design systems, consistent color palettes, typography, and spacing rules. This creates a seamless experience, strengthens brand identity, and improves overall aesthetics.

I explored glass in Blender for a material study project, modeled and shaded independently. The initial render fell short, but iterative learning refined my skills, achieving striking realism in the final result.

I found letters in a children’s playground. I used one standout photo for all letters. Initial challenges arose, but creative problem-solving led to a strong final design.

Inspired by 'Tokyo Drift', I digitally designed an existing underground garage entryway. I managed to capture the atmosphere through immersive elements, overcoming design challenges for a dynamic final presentation.

I explored my new Polaroid OneStep+ at an oldtimer car meet. I captured vintage aesthetics with instant photography, experimenting and refining techniques for nostalgic, one-of-a-kind shots.

family visit

During a recent trip to Bad Kreuznach to visit family, I enjoyed exploring the city’s blend of tradition and modernity, even as thoughts of my upcoming exams lingered. It reminded me of the importance of balance – whether in design or life. Moments like a peaceful walk along the streets or coffee in a cozy café became a canvas for clarity amidst the chaos. These experiences continue to shape my approach to creative problem-solving.

This year’s Christmas was special – my first as an official German citizen. Spending it with family, I embraced traditions I’d admired for years. From lighting candles on the Advent wreath to baking Plätzchen and unwrapping gifts on Christmas Eve, every detail felt meaningful. Embracing these customs was like designing a new layer of my identity – filled with warmth, connection, and belonging. It was a season of joy that will inspire me moving forward.

This year’s Advent season brought extra excitement – my very own Ford Mustang GT diorama calendar! As a fan of this iconic car, opening each door felt like unwrapping a piece of joy. From tiny car parts to intricate details, every moment celebrated my passion while honoring this German tradition. It reminded me to savor small joys each day, leaving me with not just a stunning diorama, but memories to cherish for years to come.
