Originally from Vienna/ Austria, Kris has been working as an animator and animation director since graduating from the Royal College of Art in London in 2010. Since 2018 her focus has been on the design and production of immersive experiences.
Her first site-specific Augmented Reality story, The Bookworms, was directed and produced for the Austrian National Library in Vienna with the aim of introducing the library to children aged 8 – 12 in a new and exciting way.
In the years since, Kris designed the interactive story app ‘Insects & Us’ and an Augmented Reality education tool ‘Ready for Red’, that teaches teenage girls and boys about the female menstrual cycle.
‘Insects & Us’ was first shown at The Photographers Gallery in London from April – June of 2022, and has been exhibited in various galleries and festivals in Norway, Austria, Germany and the UK.
She is part of the curatorial team at the Trickywomen Animation Festival in Vienna and is active in local politics.
