I was born in Germany but relocated with my family at a young age to Australia, where I spent my youth. At nineteen I returned to Germany for two years. In 2000 I attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, obtaining a bachelor degree in illustration. Since my graduation in 2005 I have been working as a freelance illustrator, Represented by Mendola Artists Representatives. During my career I have had the privilege of working on well over a hundred commercial projects as well as my personal portfolio of illustrations.
