About me

I am a sound designer, dialogue editor, and re-recording mixer originally from Switzerland but now primarily operating from my small studio in East London.

Since 2017, I have been working as a freelance sound designer. Initially, my focus was on crafting sound design for animated short films and commercials. However, over time, my portfolio has diversified to encompass fiction shorts, documentaries, and more recently, feature films and serialised content.

With every new project, I like to develop a unique world of sounds that fits the style and always supports the narrative of the film. I thrive in the subtleties and details, be it while recording foleys, editing dialogue or mixing a film.

The projects I've contributed to have enjoyed screenings at prestigious film festivals worldwide, secured theatrical releases, and been broadcast on television. In 2024, I was honoured with a nomination for the 71st Golden Reel Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing within the Student Film category.

My educational background includes a Master's degree in Sound Design from the National Film and Television School in London and a Bachelor’s Degree in 2D Animation from The University of Applied Arts and Sciences in Lucerne.

I co-founded the Noisy Neighbours Sound Design Collective and am part of the Wildreach Productions Collective and member of The Association of Motion Picture Sound.
