I'm a Service & Visual Designer based in Lausanne with a real passion for creating clarity through design. I help clients communicate complex ideas visually, whether that's building cohesive brand identities, crafting compelling presentation visualisations, or turning messy processes into harmonious solutions. What sets me apart is my background in service design with real clients in complex organisations. I don't just make things look good. I design from a deep understanding of why things matter to the people using them. That human-centered approach runs through everything I do, whether I'm designing a brand system, creating a presentation that actually lands, or mapping out how a service should work. I'm drawn to problems that sit at the intersection of strategy and aesthetics. Those are the kind where good design does real work. That might mean a visual identity system that clarifies your market position, presentation decks that make your story impossible to ignore, or mapping out internal processes so your team can actually understand them. I've worked across startups, design agencies, and established organisations in fast-paced international environments. I'm fluent in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and service design facilitation tools. But more importantly, I speak the language of clear communication and collaborative problem-solving. If you're looking for someone who treats design as a strategic tool and not just decoration, let's talk!
