Animated Student Portraits – Autism
2024

As part of the MML ETH Team, I created a video about autism on the ETH campus for their accessibility campaign, enjoying complete freedom in my style and storytelling art. As a big fan of collage, I opted for a collage reduced animation style. Together with the MML ETH team, we developed a series of portraits that transform real student stories into engaging storytelling experiences for smartphones.


The Five Phase Model of Mediation: An Overview  
2024

For the "Peace Mediation Processes" MA course at ETH, I contributed to the creation of an animated video that explores the "5-Phase Model of Mediation." This animation provides a visual synthesis of the key concepts within the model, offering students a comprehensive and engaging way to understand the mediation process. As part of the MML ETH team, my work focused on ensuring that the video effectively conveys the critical phases and insights of peace mediation in a clear and visually appealing format.

The raft of the useless- Stephan Eicher video tour
2021

What do musicians do when they can't play? What does it take to put on a concert? What is the value of culture for you?

With Voilàcollective we had the joy to make this video for the great Stephan Eicher and his band. This introduction to their upcoming tour also highlights the critical situation for musicians, who more than ever need to create.

CO2 footprint, what is it?
Video for the german TV show Löwenzahn - 2021

What is a CO2 footprint? How can we reduce it? Answering these questions and explaining an abstract concept such as ecological impact was a great challenge thrown to us by the German educative television show Löwenzahn. In a 2 minutes long animated sequence, we explain to children how our everyday actions impact the world around us.

Myself, SSI plateforme introduction

2020

Becoming an adult is hard. Becoming an adult when you turn 18, alone, in a foreign country, is way much harder. With its platform MYSELF, the SSI (service social international suisse) will help unaccompanied migrants in Switzerland to navigate through adulthood.


I had the chance to be part of this incredible project and to create this introduction video. It was a really fun time working on that! I hope you'll enjoy it.
