I am an Industrial Designer living in Zurich. I have been working as an independent designer since 2006, often in collaboration with other designers and artists. I was born in Thun, Switzerland, in 1980.
The theoretical part and the process behind a product have always been very important to me. And I love to tell stories. We are surrounded by things which seem ordinary to us but may become valuable when we look at it more closely. Things we want to keep for a lifetime. This is the most effective ecology there is - the ambition I have is the design of such treasures.
