Since childhood, I've been drawn to creating something meaningful—infused with playfulness and genuine self-expression. Growing up immersed in two contrasting cultures gave me a unique ability to perceive subtle in-between spaces that often defy words. I was captivated by the hidden harmonies of my surroundings, always seeking ways to document and shape them. It wasn’t until 2021 that I channeled my deep love for music and nuanced perceptions of sound into a passion for music production.

I’m still just in the beginning of my artistic journey, but I know that sound is my primary way of experiencing the world, and is the heart of what I aim to contribute. For the moment, my exploration leads me in the field of sound arts, where I am deepening my skills in sound design and where I explore my strong interests in the spacial context of sound. Currently, I am working on projects for both public area installations and closed-room performances.

My sonic explorations are often described as dreamy, atmospheric, cinematic, and pulsing. For me, music is a pathway to deeper self-awareness and a greater understanding of the world around me and it let’s me hold space and tell stories otherwise not possible through words.

Beyond my creations, I'm deeply committed to supporting FLINTA* individuals (women, intersex, nonbinary, trans, and agender people) in the music industry through music production workshops and coachings. I believe that systemic support is crucial in our field. In turn, this work not only deepens my understanding of the industry but also continually inspires my creative process. To date, I have coached over 100 people and regularly host safer-space events for FLINTA* producers. Additionally,
I actively contribute to the CB-Lab at Rote Fabrik, working to provide accessible studio spaces for electronic and electro-acoustic artists.
