He studied design at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen and HFBK Hamburg, where he completed his MFA on contemporary salons in 2018.

Recent activities include: lecturing at HAW Hamburg and KISD Cologne, a residency at INSTITUTO (Porto) funded by the European Union, the Goethe Institut and the City of Hamburg (2023), Hamburger Zukunftsstipendium (2021), Elbkulturfonds (2020), and a residency at Bibliothek Andreas Züst (2019).
