As the daughter of an artist, I was brought up to love the visual arts, music, and most importantly storytelling. Growing up in Russia as a German has shaped my love for languages and the written word. After finishing school, I moved back to Germany and started studying sound engineering before switching to game design. Since then, narrative design and psychology have been my primary focus. 
I graduated from the Cologne Game Lab with a Bachelor of Arts in summer 2020 and am currently working on my master degree. In my free time I play videogames and sing and write songs.
