I am an independent photographer and multimedia storyteller whose work has been featured by The New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, Stern, ZEIT, Swiss national broadcaster SRF and others.
Before going freelance, I worked as a writer and editorial lead at VICE's Zurich office and as a content strategist at WIRZ Communications. I completed a one-year program at the International Center of Photography, can communicate in German, English, Spanish and French, and am currently based in Bogotá, Colombia.
In addition to my journalistic work, I also work as an educator and for commercial clients such as the global fashion brand On.
