My Story

I have always believed that imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have.

I grew up in Austria, one of eleven children in a big, lively family where creativity and resourcefulness were a way of life. That early environment taught me how to listen, adapt, and dream big – values that have guided me ever since.

My career started in a Pharmacy, and I later stepped into management at a luxury retail store, where I discovered my passion for customer experience and creating beautiful, meaningful retail spaces. Over time, my love for technology and visual storytelling grew stronger – especially 3D design and virtual reality, which fascinated me long before they became mainstream.

Driven by that passion, I have worked across Europe – from Austria and Germany to Paris and Monaco – eventually finding a home in London, a city that inspired my creativity every day. In London, I had the privilege of working in some of the world’s most iconic retail brands, including Selfridges and Harrods. These experiences deepened my understanding of luxury, innovation, and customer connection on a global scale.

Today, I manage Vietech3D Pty Ltd , a company focused on 3D laser scanning, 3D visualisation, digital twins, virtual tours, immersive technologies and more. I use these tools to help people bring their ideas and spaces to life – whether it is designing a physical space, creating an online experience, or communicating a bold new concept.

Being part of the Ability Heroes community means a lot to me. I believe that inclusion and innovation go hand in hand. My goal is to keep building bridges between creativity and technology – and to help shape a more accessible, inspiring future for everyone.
