I was born 1996 in Bern, Switzerland. Since graduating at the Lucerne University of Arts and Design in 2019 I have been working as a freelanced 2D animator, story artist and illustrator for various projects.
My fascination lies in the absurdity of the everyday, the written word, drawing and the moving picture. I love creating and developing characters, stories and visual worlds that convey just the right feeling for each individual project and I gladly accept a little challenge here and there, for example when being presented with new ideas and paths that I haven’t explored before.
Drop me a line if you're interested in a collaboration!
