That’s me – but how did everything started?

I grew up in a smal town in south germany & had a happy, beautiful childhood

After I finished school, I started an apprenticeship as a tool maker. I realized really soon that I’m not going to spend my life working in this job.🫠

During this time, around 2018, I felt really inspired by the travel films of Sam kolder & started videography with my phone, filming trips with me and my friends. This was the first video I ever filmed & edited myself - crazy edit I know😂🫠

I soon bought my first camera, drone and spent every free minute I had learning things about editing, videography & all that stuff.📹

We traveled to Madeira, one of the most beautiful islands I’ve ever been to.🇵🇹

2021 Our group chat made it to Croatia for a vacation! Little did I know, Novalja would be the place where I’d be based for the next 2 summers.🇭🇷

Even though I hated working in this factory, I finished my apprenticeship anyway. Mainly to not disappoint my parents & have „something to come back to if this videography thing doesn’t work out🙄🇩🇪“ 
After working there for 4 years, I finally quit my job & traveled for one month through Europe.

January 2022, I started working fulltime as a videographer for Zrce.eu. - During the summer, we produced festivals in Croatia, during winter we prepped for next season🇭🇷
It definitely took time to adapt, but I soon found a rhythm and slowly but surely developed my skills, switched to davinci, did my first coaching (@koldercreative !) & met a lot of new friends a long the way🫂 

December 2023, after working two years for Zrce.eu, I quit my job & traveled to Asia for the first time in my life, backpacking with my girlfriend for three months🇮🇩🇹🇭🇲🇾 
Best time of my life🫠

March 2024 we came back to germany, moved together and I started working fulltime for my own company. Some people still asking me if I don‘t want to go back to work as a tool maker during that time😂🫣 (the company I worked for actually went bankrupt 6 months ago..)

During the last 3 years I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of people / partner / friends with some I still collaborate these days, with I‘m super greatful!♥️
