Statement

I create to understand. For me, our knowledge lies in the experience of the human body and mind in connection with the world around us. This connection is fundamental to me and allows me to ask questions, find answers, and capture beauty, diversity, and the things we fear. The stories and impressions I gather in this way, are then put into a new context and brought to life in the way of drawings, pictures, and objects.

Bio

I completed my graduation in graphic design at the ‘Schule für Gestaltung Zürich (SfGZ, now ZHdK). I then worked as an art director in various communications and advertising agencies. Founding my own design studio in 2007 gave me the opportunity to combine my private art projects with my professional work. My approach therefore differs from that of traditional artists.
