Timeline
2007 - 2013
Higher Institute of Technical Education Industrial design
With my grandfather being a carpenter and my father being a precision engineer, constructing my own projects was a goal of mine from an early age. This lead me to apply to the Higher Institute of Technical Education for Industrial Design, where I develped my first 3D-construction and modelling skills.
2013 - 2021
Technical Employee MHS
During my time at the university I had a part time job as technical employee at MHS Messtechnik Hardware Software GmbH. Aside from being responsible for visualizations, I also worked in production and as a technical illustrator.
2021 - Today
Focus on Onitoru
In an attempt to combine my newfound technical skills with my ongoing passion for creativity, I spent 2021 preparing myself to start my own company.
By attending business classes and further improving my 3D skills I paved the way to take the final step.

2013 - 2020
Technical University Vienna
Architecture
Studying architecture was my first attempt to combine technology with creativity. In my time at the university I developed a deep love for details, got to improve my rendering and animation skills, but also recognized that architecture per se is to techy for me.
2017
Illustration Artist
To compensate for my everyday life filled with university and technical work, I revived an old hobby of mine. As Matiz I started drawing again utalizing mostly ink and somtimes oil, while using my passion for detail to create intricate dotwork illustrations and fineline images.
