I am a Swiss/American born, Interactive Art Director/Designer with over 10 years experience now based in New York.
After my studies in Paris were I graduate from l'academie Charpentier, with a Masters degrees in Visual Communication. I moved in New York in 98.
Lucky enough to live around the world, I worked internationally on various projects from Paris - France, Geneva - Switzerland, Los Angeles - USA and of course New York.
My ability to produce innovative, creative and effective design, to meet deadlines, together with my sharp attention to details and my team player attitude have contributed to my many success in my creative, directing positions, as a Designer for Swatch Group in New York, Art Director for a web boutique and a branding company in Paris, with offices in various countries.
