With a background as a visual merchandiser and interior designer and experience across branding, events, and editorial projects, I bring a broad, versatile understanding of design. During internships and professional collaborations, I’ve worked on branding, wayfinding, UI/UX, motion graphics, and 3D projects, including for brands like IKEA, Migros, and the Cantonal Bank, consistently applying brand guidelines while evolving existing visual identities. Currently, I work as a freelance graphic designer, collaborating with clients across graphic and artistic projects.
