I build complete visual brand worlds — consistent characters, cover art, cinematic video and original soundtracks, all from one hand. Most AI operators can generate images. Few can build a consistent character across 50 scenes, fewer can compose the soundtrack that goes with it, and almost no one delivers all of it as one coherent piece. That's where I work. I'm also a native German speaker, so brand copy, scripts and narration for the German-speaking market are written rather than translated — which, in branding, is the whole difference. And when a project calls for atmosphere over character, I build immersive ambient worlds too — seamless rain, storm and nature soundscapes, hours-long relaxation loops and guided meditations, with the matching moody visuals produced alongside. Two recent clients, on two very different kinds of work: "Cinematic, premium, emotionally mature — exceeded our expectations." (Capital Custodia, luxury brand film) "Every detail — the editing and pacing, the graphics, the music, the storytelling — was handled with incredible creativity and precision. We will absolutely be working with her again." (Harris Chamber Team, website video) Behind the AI: over 25 years of hands-on creative work spanning illustration, graphic design (BA, MDH Düsseldorf), sound engineering (1995–1998 training, Wuppertal), photography, comics, opera production and web — now paired with deep current expertise in modern AI pipelines. ▸ WHAT I DELIVER • Video editing and post-production — brand films, website and promo videos, social cuts: edit, grade, text animation, sound design and score, delivered finished • AI character systems with full reference sheets, prompt libraries and transferable workflows • German-language content — native copy, scripts, narration and proofreading for the DACH market • Ambient & relaxation content — seamless, layered rain / storm / nature soundscapes and hours-long YouTube loops, with matching dark, moody visuals produced in-house (audio and video from one hand) • Guided meditations & wellness audio — calming voice (AI or natural), original ambient beds, precise, unhurried pacing and clean mastering • AI music videos and trailers with original Suno/ACE compositions — not stock library • Cinematic image-to-video sequences and looping visuals • Book covers and brand illustrations in storybook, fantasy, romance and cinematic styles • Storyboards and concept frames for TV commercials and indie film • Real estate & architectural visualization — informed by 5 years as a licensed estate agent • Hand-drawn watercolor and ink originals when the project calls for it • Infographics and editorial illustrations ▸ TOOLS Image: Higgsfield, Nano Banana Pro, ComfyUI, Midjourney, Flux Video: Kling 3.0, Higgsfield Video, Runway Multishot, Wan I2V via cloud GPU Audio: Suno, ACE (original scores & ambient beds), layered sound design, seamless looping & mastering, ElevenLabs, HeyGen Post: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Creative Cloud, CapCut, Procreate Classic: Watercolor, ink, pencil, mixed media ▸ HOW I WORK I read briefs carefully, ask questions before generating, and ship transferable assets (prompts, settings, source files) — never locked workflows. Native German, fluent English, European time zone. Communication is prompt and direct, deadlines are deadlines. Let's build something that lasts.

I've been playing, writing, and recording music for over twenty years, and teaching music for over fifteen years. I specialize in meeting clients based on their own ideas, translating their often difficult-to-understand musical goals, and bringing them into reality. I don't believe my clients need to know complex music theory or know how to put what they want into words, that is my job, let my expertise carry your vision. I have also been teaching music lessons for over 15 years, and my experience helping people to understand exactly what they want informs my music-making and professionalism. I can write in any style of music, and in any type of complexity, ranging from the most serene piano dreamscapes to the most frenetic video-game chiptune, from backyard jazz and blues to the most in-your-face metal. I have been trained by many different schools and my love and passion for music is infectious. As a content writer, I am an English native, who has been writing and publishing music-related educational content for years with many different brands and schools around the world, aimed at beginners and advanced students. Additionally, I am fluent in many DAWs, Production Suites, Video Editing, and Traditional Composition software. Whether working with Pro Tools when hired by Intel to produce their in-house television show or working with Dorico Composition Suite to write strings for album productions, my varied selection of skills allows for the most flexibility from my clients, with their imagination as their only limitation. I want to help you realize your vision, as quickly and as expertly as I can. ________ Program Qualifications: Logic Pro Cubase Ableton Pro Tools iZotope Suite iZotope RX Repair Suite Melodyne Suite Final Cut Pro Adobe Premiere Dorico Sibelius Finale
