One of the most important aspects of my work is to understand the vision of a project and to support it. Often this requires the synchronisation of the different viewpoints of clients, agencies, producers, directors and head of departments.
With my intimate knowledge of agencies as an art director, I understand the importance of neither ignoring the wishes of one party nor to be hampered by it. For example, the various aspect ratios, screen formats and languages are neglected in the planning of a shoot. To understand the technical specifications and the artistic possibilities and limitations allows me to plan for flexible, yet efficient workdays on the set.
I consider it one of my core responsibilities to have an open ear for all the unknown concerns that can arise during a film shoot. I commit to represent the project from the POV of the director and the production. Any film production can face challenges - the lingering question is always, how do we handle and transform a problem into an opportunity?

Switzerland is where my story begins, in the realm of classical typography. In Zurich, I completed my apprenticeship as a graphic designer at a small printing shop. After completion, I immersed myself in the world of advertising, fascinated by the perceived infinity of ideas and the transformation of these into reality.
My career took me from the strict world of corporate design to the flexibility of free-lancing. There, I learned the importance of keeping overview and orientation, which was of great use during my way through various agencies, production and post-production companies until I started my career as an assistant director.
I took my first steps as an AD in Zurich, then I ventured to Berlin. Even though my professional path may seem long and winded, all these experiences have proved useful to me over and over in my work on different film sets.
