About

When I first came to Canada about 14 years ago I fell in love with its magnificent nature. I was also inspired by the urban environment of Vancouver where I lived at the time. Being from Germany and having travelled in Europe, Thailand, Mexico, the US and Canada as well as having lived in Berlin for a short period, I really came to appreciate the proximity of nature here on the west coast.

While in Vancouver, I attended Simon Fraser University and got a BA in Communications and Fine Arts. It was then that I got interested in a career involving technology and art. I went on to Vancouver Film School to complete a certificate in New Media. It was a fast paced and very creative environment that taught me not to be afraid of computers. I also learned how to learn and where to look for information when I need it. After graduation I started a job as webmaster in Vancouver where I learned to apply my skills to real life projects.

After I met my husband and we decided to buy a house it became clear that a move to Nanaimo made sense for us. Since we moved here we had two boys who are now four and seven. I have been working as a freelance web and graphic designer for a number of clients around BC and beyond.

Other Skills

I am tri-lingual (German, English and French). I completed a bank apprenticeship in Germany and have a degree in business, English and French from a German university.
