I am a freelance graphic designer, videographer, photographer and musician based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
After secondary school, I visited the Preparatory design course (Gestalterischer Vorkurs) at the BfG Zürich. These were the most crucial and influential days of learning about design and photography for me.
In 2012 I received my Federal Certificate of Proficiency in graphic design. Later in 2016 I received my professional Baccalaureate at the College of Art and Design Zurich.
Ever since, I'm improving my skills independently on a daily basis.
​
My whole family consists of musicians, which makes me feel very connected to passionate and dedicated musicians, and to creating music myself as well. Images and music go hand in hand – together they can make a much bigger impact than on their own.
I've been playing instruments since I'm six years old.
Visual Arts and music have always been my passion. I can confidently say that this has helped me to continuously grow my attention to detail in the audio-visual world.
​
Having used many of my skills in various projects in the past, in late 2019 I founded GrofDesign, an "all-round" Brand, offering a wide asset of services in graphic design, photography and videography.
