At the age of 15, Laura Berlin was discovered by a model agency and became a model.

Collaboration with acting management agencies led to further film projects. Berlin appeared in several advertising spots of well-known brands as well as in a music video of the rock band Oomph!. She took the role of Charlotte Montrose in the films Ruby Red (2013), Sapphire Blue (2014) and Emerald Green [de] (2016) inspired by Kerstin Gier's book series Ruby Red Trilogy.
