My passion for visual arts, photography, and video creation has always been strong.

I started my journey in my late teens and early twenties when I played a lot of MMORPGs such as Everquest, Asheron's call 2 and World of Warcraft. I loved the creativity and storytelling possibilities that these games offered, and I often made short animated videos using video game footage, called machinimas. I shared these videos on the guild's forum for entertainment, and I received positive feedback from my fellow players.

Around the same time, under the alias Allodox, I led a small demoscene group called Nosferatu. Though I wore many hats – programmer, musician, and texture artist – I wouldn't say I mastered any one skill. Instead, I contributed across various aspects of our demos where needed. Although this period wasn't directly tied to video production, it significantly fueled my creativity.

Working as a system administrator, I continued to pursue my passion for video creation. I recorded videos about interesting projects that I worked on, and I posted them on my website. I also enjoyed going out on weekends with a coworker and a close friend to explore abandoned buildings. We would take lots of photos along the way, and I would often use these photos to create short videos.

In mid-2015, I became a partnered streamer on the popular live-streaming platform Twitch . I mostly streamed a popular role-playing game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on a daily basis under the pseudonym AjiraKimberly, and provided gameplay commentaries for a medium-sized audience. I retired from live-streaming video games in late 2020 to make the switch to filming and producing real-life videos on YouTube.

I had initially planned to debut my YouTube adventure in January 2021, but due to COVID-19 lockdowns, a broken vertebrae, and various other problems, the plan was postponed. After two years of delays, I finally released two music video reactions in the first half of 2022. However, I wasn't happy with them and soon realized that this wasn't really the type of content that I wanted to create. I deleted the two reaction videos from my YouTube channel and began a new journey in March 2023 by uploading a series of energy-drink review videos. This, of course, wasn't the full picture or the final goal, but it helped me get my foot in the door and was a solid starting point for learning the ropes of video production.

I started off by filming the first few videos in a rented space, but this proved to be too expensive in the long run. I soon moved my filming operations to my living room, which was far more affordable. A double dose of misfortune struck in December 2023 – a nasty case of pneumonia followed by a broken navicular bone in my right foot – which forced me to put a pause on video production for almost 3 months. By the end of February 2024, I was back in the game. Fueled by confidence and purpose, I transformed one of my apartment's bedrooms into a small studio, where I've been producing videos ever since.
