SWITCHCRAFT
Art Direction / Game Development
Switchcraft remains one of the most meaningful collaborations of my career.
An ambitious, BAFTA-nominated game that brought diversity, artistic integrity and narrative depth into a genre that rarely receives this level of care.
Amma kann nicht einschlafen
Children’s Book Illustration
This is the kind of book I would have loved to have as a child.
A warm, funny and tender bedtime story about family, autonomy and the first small steps toward growing up, and my return to children’s book illustration after many years.
Everlasting
Animated Short Film
Everlasting began as a spark of an idea and grew into a passion project shaped by more than 80 artists.
Created as the opening film for the 10th anniversary of Trojan Horse was a Unicorn, it remains a proud reminder of what collaboration can become.

Expressive characters with clear shape language, charm and a strong sense of appeal.
I develop distinctive designs across a wide range of styles, each shaped for the story, world and purpose they need to serve.
Storytelling
The path to creativity is never straight, but it's filled with growth, discovery, and new perspectives.

Art Direction
Shaping vision into a clear visual language.
I help ideas, worlds and teams find their strongest creative direction.
Illustration
Nothing inspires me more than a story well told.
I listen for the color, rhythm and feeling inside a text, then translate it into images that let the story grow.
Every idea has the potential to change something. Channel your passion and bring your vision to life with intention.
