Graduate success stories
Michael Jurgens
Mixing and mastering engineer, live mixer, technical manager, music producer, and music video producer in one package, Michael Jürgens has studied at SAE Institute Hamburg in Audio Engineering. Michael has shown a passion for sound and is recognized by many as having a knack for it. Currently, he teaches at SAE Institute Hamburg in the Audio Department.
Davina Cochrane
While studying Game Art & 3D Animation at SAE Institute in Hamburg, Dave Cochrane founded Phoenix Reality. With a strong lead in the technologies of tomorrow, she is an absolute expert in immersive experience design. Davina received double state funding for her company (“InnoFounder Hamburg” & “Federal Computer Game Funding”) and received the coveted “Best Start Up” award in 2021. She also works internationally as a freelance visual artist and realizes analogue and digital productions that are unbelievable, impressive, and violent.
Roman Luth
Roman Lüth was born in southern Germany and only produced his first songs at his desk in his flat. He was utterly absorbed in home recording and studied audio engineering at the SAE Institute in Munich. After graduating, he completed internships in various recording studios. Shortly after that, he produced music for the international music market on behalf of well-known producers and took this instructive time as a stepping stone to take off. Since 2013 Roman has been working very successfully in his mixing and recording suite in a large studio complex in Ottensen, the creative centre in the heart of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg.
Luca Schippmann
As a student at SAE Institute, Schippmann is fully immersed in his Visual Effects and 3D Animation studies, creating realistic 3D objects and moving images daily. In contrast to many students from other departments, Luca rarely is noticed as he quickly enters the campus system, then heads straight to his office to work on exaggeratedly large projects in a time-consuming, entirely focused, and super-concentrated way. He was an apprentice technical product designer before attending SAE Institute.
