about

Back in 2002, I started the website MINDistortion.tv for my personal projects. Shortly thereafter I began taking on commissions while honing my skills at the University of Applied Science St. Pölten. Once I majored in Telecommunications and Media, I became a full-time freelancer.

By working interdisciplinary across software engineering, animation and graphic design, I have gathered years of professional experience in each respective field.
