Welcome to my creative studio, where music, technology, and innovative software development harmonize. I’m passionate about fostering creativity in every project I undertake, including the development of the Little Composers apps that empower young children to explore their musical talents.
About Me
I’m an Austrian-born musician, music teacher, composer, performer, and producer, now thriving on the West Coast of Canada. My musical journey began at 17 when I joined my first band, igniting a lifelong passion for music. By 21, I was teaching music, but my journey took a pivotal turn when I moved to Vancouver, motivated by the vibrant startup culture and the exciting opportunities in web design and software development.
After years of teaching and performing, I transitioned from music education to web design, driven by a desire to explore new creative avenues. This shift allowed me to blend my artistic background with technology, leading me to establish my own ventures.
Prolific Web Design
In response to the growing demand for effective online presence, I founded Prolific Web Design. This dedicated initiative focuses on maintaining and creating WordPress sites for startups and individuals, offering graphic design services to produce eye-catching image assets for banners and advertisements. The goal is to empower small business owners by providing tailored web solutions that enhance their visibility and engage their customers.
Music and Technology
Music is not just my profession; it’s my passion. I specialize in helping artists create compelling promotional reels and refining their recordings. My expertise spans various genres and styles, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each project.
In addition to my teaching and production work, I’ve developed web applications for Little Composers, a platform dedicated to empowering young children to compose their own music. With 20 years of teaching experience, I created these free, easy-to-use apps that work seamlessly on any PC, tablet, or mobile device, making music creation accessible and engaging for kids. Recognized as one of the best new music methods, Little Composers was even featured on SHAW TV in Vancouver. I believe that technology can significantly enhance the creative process, allowing the next generation to explore and express their musical talents.
