Hi, I'm Zorika!
I'm a Visual Storyteller with education in Graphic-Design, Film-making and Animation. Having spent most of my career focused on handcrafted arts, I'm currently enrolled at the University of Salford to gain a deeper understanding of the ever faster developing technological landscape and it's ethical implications. On the weekends you will find me in the woods, working as an Assisting Bushcraft Instructor at Howl Bushcraft.
Originally from Germany, I now live and work in the north of England.
