Concepts for all age groups
As a puzzle author, I develop puzzle and game mechanics for publishers, cultural institutions and companies. On book and game projects, I usually work closely with the publisher's project managers. I deliver fully developed puzzle concepts with detailed sketches and instructions that illustrators and graphic designers can use to start production right away. I also consult on escape games and offer workshops on creative and lateral thinking.
Every puzzle I create comes with a solution path and a hint system. I often write the story the puzzles are embedded in as well. Thanks to my degree in media technology, I think of analog and digital formats together, from puzzle books to apps.
About me
I love to think. Even as a child, I solved math problems on vacation of my own free will, and the joy of a solution that is surprising yet logical still drives me today.
Since 2018, I have made this my profession, developing puzzles for publishers and companies. I live and work in Stuttgart, Germany.
With my puzzles, I want to help people rediscover the joy of thinking.
I look forward to hearing from you and to possible joint projects.
