→ About
I am a Swiss graphic designer working across visual communication, editorial design, advertising and typography. My practice is driven by ideas, curiosity and a particular interest in how visual systems can turn complex subjects into clear and engaging communication. I enjoy moving between disciplines, experimenting with different media and finding the right visual language for each project, preferably one that has not already been used a hundred times. I believe in strong concepts, thoughtful details and taking design seriously without necessarily taking everything else too seriously.
