BIOGRAPHY
After a master’s degree in economics at the University of Zürich, I worked as a journalist for a daily newspaper and Swiss youth television.
Faced with the visual impact of television images I started to study video art at the HSLU of Art & Design.
I completed my studies as a visual designer at the F+F Zürcher Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst.
While living in Zürich and Sweden, I’m working on different issues about art, design and photography.
I’m a member of the feminist association PURPLE EYE, the STREIKHAUS COLLECTIVE and SIYU (professionelle Fotografie Schweiz).
