Hello! I’m a Swiss Amy Knife
I love being a storyteller. Crafting strong visual communications through clean, consistent aesthetics builds a unique and lasting connection between consumers and their favorite brands. I love developing confident identities for worldwide markets, because I want to bring a modern, fashionable sense to respectable products that are accessible by large groups of people.
Driven by details and obsessed with all aspects of design, I have an extraordinary capacity to lead teams with intense empathy, intentionality and playfulness. I listen carefully, making me an integral asset to a diversity of corporations as well as their external partners.
+ Two decades of experience serving a wide range of industries
+ Exceptionally valued as a multi-faceted “department-of-one” for startups
+ Smartly achieves fast results and remains flexible within rapidly changing conditions
+ Simultaneously manages multiple brands with distinct identities and varied target customers
I also meditate, cycle and surf. I’m excited about making work fun and beautiful.
