01 — ABOUT

Structure for creative complexity.

I work with executive producers/delegate producers, studios, agencies and creative teams to turn ambitious ideas into well-organized productions.

As a Production Manager and Producer, I work across feature animation, VFX, commercials and social-first content. Trained in Animation/Effects Producing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, I combine creative understanding with structured production management.

From planning and budgeting to scheduling, team coordination and delivery, I create production frameworks that keep projects efficient, transparent and moving forward. I enjoy bringing clarity to complex productions, aligning people, processes and creative goals.

Working across creative, technical and operational environments has taught me how to communicate between disciplines, anticipate challenges and find practical solutions. I believe the best productions happen when creative teams can focus on creating while production provides structure, trust and momentum.

My approach is structured, collaborative and hands-on.

GOOD PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT CREATES CLARITY, BUILDS TRUST AND GIVES CREATIVE TEAMS THE SPACE TO DO THEIR BEST WORK.
