Research and writing
I currently work as a research assistant at the HKB for the Swiss Graphic Design and Typography Revisited (SGDTR) research project. I am currently completing a PhD thesis related to this project.
I have written articles for the Swiss Design Awards, RadDar, Progetto Grafico, Revue Diorama, Poster Tribune, Weltformat magazine and IDPURE. I have also written academic articles in peer-reviewed publications. See my Google Scholar page for a bibliography.
Projects
I co-organised Behind the Books, an exhibition of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books in London, with Mathias Clottu in 2019 and 2020.
I co-curated and moderated the Weltformat Graphic Design Festival 2019 and 2020 symposium with Miriam Koban.

My studio clients include artists such as Amy Croft, the Demystification Committee, The Walking Reading Group and institutions such as ECAL, MACBA, Musées Cantonaux du Valais, RCA and the Whitstable Biennale.
I worked as a freelance designer for the Architectural Association, Atelier Dyakova, Cameron Mackintosh, COS, Idea is Everything, John Morgan studio, Jonathan Hares, Hauser & Wirth, and Studio Veronica Ditting.
