    BENFLUENCER

Born and raised in the city of Los Angeles, and In 2012, I took a leap of faith and moved to Munich, Germany to pursue a master's degree in media design, opening up a new world of opportunities and experiences.

Where are you from?

I am an XR creator and futurist, specializing in crafting social content and marketing for a diverse range of brands. My expertise lies in merging cutting-edge technologies like  AI, AR, VR & 3D to develop captivating and groundbreaking experiences that push the boundaries of what's possible.

What is your profession?

What is your favorite piece that you have created?

Choosing a favorite creation is nearly impossible! However, I must admit that my most recent project always holds a special place in my heart. Each new piece benefits from my ever-growing experiences and passion, receiving my undivided love and attention. It's only natural that I find myself so connected to my latest work, until the next one comes along to captivate my thoughts and challenge my skills.

My ultimate goal is to keep pushing the envelope in the XR space by exploring, innovating, and creating new workflows. I aspire to harness the power of cutting-edge technology to become a one-person full-service agency, offering clients the most avant-garde and impactful solutions in the industry.

What are your goals?

The exhilarating intersection of art and technology serves as my primary inspiration. I revel in experimenting with new tools and techniques, breaking through barriers, and unearthing novel ways to create experiences that are truly one-of-a-kind.

What is the best advice you have been given?

The most valuable advice I've received is to never stop learning. In the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of XR, staying on top of the latest tools, techniques, and trends is not just essential—it's the key to unlocking the true potential of innovative experiences and maintaining relevance in a competitive landscape.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

One challenge in the XR industry that I would like to address is the lack of standardization and interoperability between platforms and tools. If I could change anything, I would spearhead initiatives to develop unified standards, fostering seamless collaboration and making it easier for creators to navigate and thrive within diverse ecosystems.

My day typically begins with a review of project goals and a deep dive into the latest industry news to stay informed about emerging advancements. The majority of my day is dedicated to working on a variety of projects, often involving 3D animation, AR, and video editing, punctuated by moments of experimentation and creative breakthroughs. In the evenings, I love to tinker with new tools and technologies, constantly honing my skills and discovering innovative ways to integrate them into my workflow.

How does a day in your life look like?

What is the coolest place/ hotspot/ event you have been to?

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of attending one of a kind hackathons in sports stadiums, capturing exhilarating moments at museums and motorcycle off-road races, and rubbing shoulders with industry pioneers at tech conferences around the globe. Each of these experiences has enriched my creative journey and deepened my connection with the incredible community of creators who share my passion for XR.

I am eager to continue joining forces with talented creators, working on larger scale projects that challenge the status quo and redefine the boundaries of XR technology. I am particularly excited about the future of AI and plan to fully integrate cutting-edge AI tools like Midjourney, Dalle2, and GPT-4 into my workflow. By doing so, I aim to enhance my creative process, tap into groundbreaking ideas, and revolutionize the way we approach content creation.

As an advocate for collaboration and connection in the XR space, I look forward to forging new partnerships with like-minded individuals who share my passion for innovation.
