1985 I was born in a small town close to the Black Forest in Southern Germany. I have studied at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and at Aalto University, School of Design in Helsinki, Finland. During my studies, different internships and jobs, I experimented a lot with trash, street art, handicrafts, comics, conceptual art projects and urban space. My work focuses on telling stories and I love to discover things that are often and easily overlooked. LARU15 is my first exhibition in the nature and I am really excited about it, especially because I basically live right next to that beach.
