100% available in June 2026:
After 20 years in corporate communication, business development and marketing, I am excited to announce that I am officially going independent! I am now offering my expertise to studios, businesses, and creators worldwide.
I am a Character Animator specializing in Moho. I am experienced in creating expressive, fluid performances for international web and TV productions, combining the soul of traditional animation with the efficiency of modern 2D rigging.
Beyond the screen, I love to serve as a Consultant, helping studios and creators to bridge the gap between hand-drawn frame-by-frame aesthetics and digital tools like Moho.
I also channel this expertise into my own Original IPs, such as the adventure game "A Gud Boi," currently in development for a commercial Steam release in 2026
Stay tuned for the final version of this website in May!

Why Animation?
I believe animation is unique as a medium because it allows to convey information and tell stories through purely symbolic means. The process of animation has fascinated me since my earliest experiments with paper and a Super 8 camera. From the Flash era all the way to modern tools like Moho, one thing has remained constant: the "trick" of bringing characters to life never gets old.
Why Moho?
I fell in love with Moho’s ability to combine the "soul" of hand-drawn art with the technical precision and convenience of modern rigging. For me, animation is not just about moving pixels; it’s about performance and character. Moho gives me the toolkit I need to achieve that balance.
Let’s make something great!
Throughout my life, the skills I’ve developed through my passion projects have always fueled my professional work—and vice versa. I am eager to take on new, fantastic opportunities and continue to be inspired by the stories we can tell together.
Strategic Mind. Creative Heart.
Based in Basel, Switzerland, I have spent the last two decades in communication, marketing, and innovation management. My journey has taken me through corporate departments and educational institutions, giving me a unique perspective on how to translate complex subjects into stories that actually resonate.
