Growing up during the golden age of video games, I turned my passion into a profession and built over 15 years of experience in game development and studio leadership. As Co-Founder and Technical Director of Studio Fizbin, I’ve led multiple award-winning projects, grown a team of more than 20 developers, and helped shape the studio’s creative and technical direction. Together with peers from Berlin’s games industry, I also co-founded the indie collective SAFTLADEN, which has since become Germany’s largest coworking space for independent developers.
