I am a Senior/Lead Nuke Compositor, 3D generalinst & Visual Effects Set Supervisor from Hamburg Germany  with over 15 years of experience in the media and entertainment industry.

I started to study graphic designin 2004 and began working working as a freelance graphic designer in 2005.

After finishing my graphic design degree in 2008 at the Alsterdamm School of Visual Arts I began my professional career in the TV industry as a Motion Designer for quiz and game shows, working mostly with cinema 4D and After Effects.

In 2010 I started to work on commercials as Senior Digital Artist at SLGH for customers like: Mercedes, Porsche, Bugatti, Volkswagen, BMW, Citroen, Vodafone, Telekom and many more. That was the time when I made the switch from After Effects and Cinema 4D to Maya and Nuke. In 2017 I worked at Foundry in London as a product designer for Nuke for 6 months.

After my work at Foundry I went back into production and worked at Automatik VFX in London as Senior Compositor and sequence lead for feature films for three moths. In October of 2017 I came back to Germany and went back to commercial production in Hamburg as Lead Nuke Compositing Artist and VFX Supervisor.

Many times during the week I still continue to work after regular work hours on personal projects and tutorials for my YouTube channel LoveVFX.

My strongest areas are: Compositing, Look Development, sculpting, lighting and rendering, but I also love to animate characters and painting textures for 3D assets. The Software I use: Nuke, Maya, V-Ray, ZBrush, Mari, Houdini, DaVinci Resolve & Agisoft Metashape.

At LoveVFX on YouTube I am sharing my knowledge and opinion about tools and workflows for VFX. Whenever I learn something that is VFX related and worth sharing I try to compress that knowledge and create a Tutorial about it.
