Hello there! I'm a freelance animator, story artist and illustrator, working on a wide range of projects, including various animated short and feature films.
I was raised bilingually (de/fr) in Bern, Switzerland and soon discovered my passion for the drawn and moving image. So I went to the Lucerne University Design Film and Art, to study 2D Animation and graduated with the short film "IHR", which was shown at multiple international festivals and won several prices.
My fascination lies in the absurdity of the everyday, written words, drawn images and moving pictures. I like to create and develop characters, stories and worlds that convey just the right feeling for each individual project and I gladly welcome new challenges.
In addition to creating I co-curate the Fantoche Industry Day & SAIA and teach the «animated narration» course at the School of Visual Arts in Biel/Bienne.
