Houdini FX artist, student of Audiovisual Media, drum teacher and all-around creative experimenter.

Houdini FX & destruction

Currently, I’m studying at Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart, with a focus on visual effects in 3D, or as we call it, CG. My passion lies in destruction—digitally, of course—where I bring simulations to life using my favorite tool, Houdini FX. There’s something thrilling about watching complex simulations unfold, and Houdini FX gives me the freedom to blow things up, break them down, and craft the unexpected. You can find more of my renders on ArtStation.

Drums & rhythm

When I’m not in the world of CG, you’ll find me teaching drums at Drum Department. I’ve been drumming since I was seven, and it’s a huge part of who I am. I love sharing that passion with students of all ages, helping them discover the magic in the rhythm and those tiny details that make drumming so special.

Web design

Oh, and I also design websites! It’s a mix of fun and challenge, but I’m always pushing myself to learn new techniques, making each project more engaging than the last. Have a project in mind? Get in touch.
