ABOUT
I am a Senior Graphic & Concept Designer, originally from Switzerland and now based in London, specializing in the intersection of art, design, and luxury storytelling. I studied Graphic Design at the University of the Arts London (UAL), developing a multidisciplinary practice spanning branding, packaging, product, textile, and 3D merchandising.
My creative foundation lies in portraiture and fine art painting. Years of working with brush and canvas taught me an essential truth: mediums are tools, never the final answer. This perspective allows me to move fluidly across disciplines, using any material or technique necessary to bring ideas to life.
In 2015, my work was selected for the BP Portrait Award and exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London — a milestone that deeply shaped my visual language.
Driven by a passion for the relationship between art and function, I transitioned into design to create objects that are both visually compelling and integral to daily life. This journey led me to London, a city rich in creative heritage and innovation.
A pivotal experience was working as a studio assistant to Christian Marclay, whose innovative use of vinyl records as sculptural forms transformed my understanding of context and meaning. This inspired me to embrace design as contextual storytelling—where objects transcend function to gain deeper significance.
I approach design much like a DJ: sampling, remixing, and recontextualising to create fresh, conceptually rich experiences.
At the core of my work is the belief in the “noticed unnoticeable” — the silent space between musical notes that enriches a composition. For me, packaging and presentation create this quiet yet powerful connection between product and consumer, enhancing their experience often without them even realizing it. As a designer, I serve both product and audience—crafting moments that elevate with subtlety and grace.
Never confined by medium, I constantly evolve my craft through new tools, techniques, and technologies. Whether in stone, paper, or screen, I believe it’s the idea itself that endures, not the format.
