I was born and grew up in Forchheim, Oberfranken. After graduation from school I started my working life as an electronic technician. I quit my job after almost 10 years in this profession to make my dream from teenage days come true: working with ceramics. I visited the State Technical Collage of Ceramics in Höhr-Grenzhausen to become a ceramic designer. During my graduation year I had the opportunity to do a guest semester at the Institute of Ceramic and Glass Art, in support of the incipient steps on my way as ceramic artist. This was followed by another support year, after graduation, at the State Technical Collage of Ceramics, and I used the opportunity to find and consolidate my position in the world of ceramics. Since then I have been successfully participating in internationally advertised competitions and exhibitions in Germany, Latvia, Croatia, France, Austria, Spain and Korea. Furthermore I have been awarded with several honorable mentions. Since 2016 I have lived and worked in Höhr-Grenzhausen where I hope to successfully continue my chosen path as a ceramicist.
