My career began with fundraising for non-profits, which evolved into marketing and PR for the German film and commercial director Ralf Schmerberg (Berlin) and project and studio management for the French artist JR (NYC).

In 2017, I launched my own business ART ACTVST (Los Angeles) — a platform connecting artists and brands with causes for authentic social and environmental impact.

In 2022 I earned an Online Marketing degree in Berlin and have worked with clients across Germany and the U.S. as a creative producer and social media strategist since.

Here’s a glimpse of my eccentric life and work over the years…
