I was born on February 16th, 1975 and grew up in a tower block of Berlin Marzahn as daughter of a middle-class GDR family.
Rather than going to school I used to surf the streets, roofs and S-Bahn trains of Berlin during my childhood and youth.

​

At the age of 16, giving birth to my first son changed my life fundamentally.
I made an excellent school qualification and a premature graduation of vocational training as a chemical laboratory assistant. This led to my first film "Ententanz" at the IG Chemie national youth meeting in 1993.

In 1998 I graduated high school in order to study directing. I met the artist Gauner, a rapper of the Berlin hiphop scene with his own show on VIVA. Here I produced first music videos in collaboration with several artists and laid the foundation of Berlin's poetry slam scene in the Tacheles.
In addition to the hiphop label Polycypher - Die Sekte, today AGGRO Berlin, the label Mobtik emerged in the following years as an expression of a free artist collective for Berlin filmmakers.

 

In order to give me the opportunity to produce experimental short films, a student of painting infiltrated me at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee in 1999 so I could use the technical capabilities of the university. I created documentary, experimental and feature short films and in addition I approached art for the first time.

In 2001 I started as a technical assistant on television and made my way upward until I became a program manager of an international educational channel in 2009.

In 2017, now mother of three sons and a granddaughter, I dropped my television career to dedicate myself entirely to my passion for art.
