From 2013 to 2015, Fabian trained as a state-certified illustrator and comic artist at SBKG Berlin, focusing on anatomy, color theory, gesture drawing, maquette building, and painting.
From 2017 to 2023, he studied Animation at the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, where he developed a broad technical skillset in traditional and digital animation.

Between 2023 and 2025, he contributed as a freelance 2D Artist and Animator to Fake Lobster Games, an independent game studio. At the moment, they are developing the Metroidvania title Shellbound.
He has also previously conducted storyboarding workshops at the Comic School Berlin and led media courses for youth at SBH Nordost and Kinderfilm Berlin e.V. (FEZ Berlin), focusing on green screen and animation techniques.
Additionally, he has contributed to various animated short films, indie game projects, game jams, and student live-action productions – both behind the scenes and occasionally as an on-screen extra.
In 2025, he began exploring tattoo art, specializing in custom, illustrative designs.
