I was born in the western countryside of Germany, so close to the Dutch border that the cows probably spoke two languages.

That rural start might not scream “future film editor,” but it gave me an eye for details—and a love for stories hidden in plain sight.
I believe that editing is not about control – it‘s about trust. Trusting the rhythm of a scene the silence between words, the unexpected shift that turns something crafted into something real.
What sets my work apart is not a signature style, but a commitment to authenticity and narrative precision. I don’t cut to impress – I cut to uncover. My strongest tools are empathy, restraint, and the courage to let an image breathe.

Today, I’m a Berlin-based, award-winning editor, shaping images and sound into narratives that stick.
My playground? Commercials, shorts, music videos—think campaigns for Asics, Google, Mercedes-Benz, JBL, Rimowa, Versace, and many more.

I started at Saltwater Films and quickly found myself working as a freelancer with production companies such as Somesuch, Zauberberg, Stink Films, Tempomedia, Psyop, and Radical Media.

The spotlight followed: Cannes Lions Grand Prix For Good (2024), Ciclope Gold for New Talent in Commercial (2024), Tribeca Best Branded Short (2025), plus multiple shortlists here and there.

When I’m not cutting (or collecting trophies), I’m mentoring at TLNT or judging—giving back to the creative community that fuels me.

So, before I edit—I watch closely.
