About me

I've spent 9+ years turning creative ambition into real-world results; releasing digital and physical products, producing live events, working directly with clients to bring their vision to life. Managing people, timelines and budgets across diverse teams is where I thrive.

After years running things from behind a screen, I stepped into a hands-on technical role at Dance GmbH to broaden my understanding of operational workflows. Now I'm excited to bring that end-to-end perspective and cross-industry experience to a new field.
