about

Hi visitor, thank you for exploring my website!

My name is Yara Völker. I am a 23 years old German media design student with the specialization in media design, journalism, music production and photography.
Since I was in high school I was interested in the media world and journalism. At that time I made my first steps into the field with several jobs or official learning programs. After I got my A Levels, many internships and a lot of travels around Europe and Asia to improve my three language skills, I began my bachelor studies in media design, animation, graphic design and film. Right now I’m in my sixth semester and soon I will start to work in the media universe. Feel free to contact me here.

Underneath you will find a detailed vita and working references. If you are interested in my projects, please check out my portfolio site.
