Ashlin Winckler is a creative soul born and bred in Cape Town. She recently completed a BA degree in film and television production at City Varsity as well as a musical theatre diploma through Trinity College. She then moved to the Netherlands to be with her parents and is now studying towards a second degree, this time in animation at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
