"I was born in Kazakhstan in 1987 and grew up in Georgia and Russia. I studied animation in Saint-Petersburg. Shortly before graduation I followed my family and moved to Germany. In 2011 I began to study animation at the Film University Babelsberg „Konrad Wolf“ in Potsdam, which I finished with a bachelor’s degree in 2016. I live and work as a freelance animator in Berlin."
