About Me

I'm a dedicated filmmaker and consultant, fortunate to have collaborated with iconic brands like Burberry, Kjus, and Sony A. My audacious approach in the field led me to accolades at the London Surf Film Festival and recognitions from esteemed institutions like the University of Plymouth. One of my proudest moments was becoming the first to legally fly a drone atop Mt Kilimanjaro.

My Journey

Born in the captivating Swiss Alps, I’ve always been at ease in demanding winter terrains. My academic journey brought me to the UK, where I embraced the chilling waves and fierce winds of the North Atlantic, capturing Europe's top surfers in their element. This love for film later melded with my outdoor expertise, propelling me to craft standout videos in the sports sector.

Studying in Stockholm, I deepened my grasp of brand identity and storytelling. As a consultant, I've enhanced visuals and market strategies for a diverse range of clients, from private educational institutions to innovative tech firms.

For me, immersion is key. Be it spending months documenting the socio-economic aftermath of bomb fishing in West Sumatra or driving a Land Rover Defender across Europe to connect with Iceland's locals, my commitment ensures a genuine, impactful connection in every project I undertake.
