Having been in a close working relationship with Games Academy (Berlin) for over 9 years, I had the privilege to help many students find their way into the games industry. What started out as Photoshop and concept art classes for the art courses, quickly expanded to the role of project supervisor for the whole student roster.
Semester after semester, I coached students through ideation, scoping, planning and completion of their student games, while also helping them deal with team dynamics. It was a super enriching experience. Unfortunately, my responsibilities with Studio Fizbin made it difficult to keep teaching, but I hope I can pick up were the Games Academy and I left off soon.

Student projects were frequently nominated for Ubisoft Newcomer and Student project awards.
