I am a Berlin-based theatre and film artist directing, writing, and producing immersive pieces that explore identity and consent. I work across live performance, film, and audio tours, often collaborating with artists to develop ideas from concept to premiere. I’m passionate about accessible storytelling, multilingual collaborations, and bringing bold ideas to life with warmth and curiosity. I thrive in collaborative environments, love working with communities, and enjoy turning complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives for stage and screen. I’m fluent in English and German, and I enjoy the creative process from initial concept through to final production.
