Hello!
II am a freelance graphic designer, videographer, photographer, and musician based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
My journey in the creative arts began after secondary school when I attended the Preparatory Design Course (Gestalterischer Vorkurs) at BfG Zürich. This experience was pivotal in shaping my understanding of design and photography. In 2012, I earned my Federal Certificate of Proficiency in Graphic Design, followed by a Professional Baccalaureate from the College of Art and Design Zurich in 2016. Since then, I’ve been committed to honing my craft every day.
Growing up in a family of professional musicians, I have always felt a deep connection to music. This connection has fueled my passion for both creating music and exploring the synergy between visual arts and sound. Music and imagery, when combined, can create a powerful impact that transcends the sum of their parts. I've been playing musical instruments since the age of six, and my lifelong dedication to music has greatly enhanced my attention to detail in the audiovisual realm.
In late 2019, I channeled my diverse skill set into founding GrofDesign, a versatile brand offering a comprehensive range of services in graphic design, photography, and videography. Since 2023, I'm also working as a freelancer at JG Video GmbH, specializing in video production and collaborating with prominent brands.
