Jan originally enrolled at Film University in Germany, where he unexpectedly discovered his passion for the academic study of video games. This interest led him to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Game Science at the University of Bayreuth, a program that combined Game Studies and Computer Science with hands-on development. It was there that Passing By – A Tailwind Journey was born. This early project ultimately inspired Jan and his co-founders Ilona, Hannah, and Marius to establish their own studio, Studio Windsocke. Beyond sound design, his focus also extends to game and narrative design as well as project management.
