I see myself as a link between the audio and the visual world, and I have spent many years working across picture and sound. Based in Zurich, I run MAKANART and help clients navigate across borders, offering practical, cross-disciplinary solutions. My career has spanned roles from graphic editor and cameraman to producer, and I have even run my own music label, contributing across the creative chain from shoot to delivery. I love new technology and the chance to experiment with fresh techniques in my free time. My projects range from event films and music videos to industrials, advertising and corporate videos, plus QT shows, animation, motion graphics, photography, and time-lapse. I enjoy image editing, photo manipulation, and logo design, and I bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to every assignment.
