Kilian’s interest in visual media began with his first encounter with Star Wars, which sparked a fascination for filmmaking techniques and the creation of immersive worlds. Initially aspiring to become a film director, his career path gradually evolved toward media design, leading him to retrain as a media designer specializing in digital and print. He is particularly drawn to the creative challenge of developing engaging and visually compelling designs. Over the past two years, Kilian has developed a growing interest in 3D design, especially through creating short 3D animation videos, which encouraged him to further explore this field. His long-standing passion for imagining original worlds and bringing ideas to life visually has become a key source of motivation. Driven by his own creativity, Kilian is eager to contribute to similar projects and further develop his skills. At the same time, his desire to become part of a collaborative creative team has grown, as he has not yet had the opportunity to fully engage in such an environment in his professional career.

Evie’s interest in design began during her school years, initially focusing on creating original characters within existing worlds. Over time, this developed into a deeper passion – not only for character creation, but also for building the worlds and stories in which they exist. A key milestone was the development of one of her own characters, which led her to begin designing an entire universe around them, with the vision of one day bringing it to life as a game. Throughout the years, Evie continued to work on character design, even though she initially lacked the technical skills and knowledge to fully visualize her ideas. After moving to Kiel and beginning her studies in Multimedia Production, she gradually discovered a wide range of creative and technical tools that allowed her to move closer to her goals. Today, Evie is focused on further developing her skills and expanding her creative horizons through various projects. Her aim is not only to design characters, but to bring them to life through visual and narrative storytelling – and to share these creations with others.
