About me


Hi, I am Sheila, a game and sound designer currently based in Cologne!
I grew up in Bavaria, then moved to North Rhine-Westphalia, where I completed my education as design assistant. Later I went to drama school and absolved a correspondence course for writing, before I did the bachelor degree course for digital games at the Cologne Game Lab.
