ABOUT
Ahoi! I’m Sonja and I enjoy animation, graphic design and film.
I produce and create my own short films but also love to collaborate with my folks at the Talking Animals Animation Collective and Studio Pauke.
After finishing my animation degree from the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, I’ve had the chance to create some award-winning films, team up with talents from around the world, share my knowledge through teaching and explore different corners of the globe. If you’re interested in collaborating, drop a line.
