Career
path
After completing commercial high school I finished my apprenticeship at an international publishing house where I spent another 2,5 years of work until leaving the company to start my bachelor studies in the field of Digital Media Production.
During that time I was able to gain a lot of theoretical and practical experiences in study projects as well as in a working context.
