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 have written articles for the Swiss Design Awards, RadDar, Progetto Grafico, Revue Diorama, Poster Tribune 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. We invited Jonas Voegeli and Rory McGrath to discuss their involvement with the competition.

I co-curated and moderated the Weltformat Graphic Design Festival 2019 symposium with Miriam Koban.

Graphic design

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 designer for the Architectural Association, Atelier Dyakova, Cameron Mackintosh, COS, Idea is Everything, John Morgan studio, Jonathan Hares, Hauser & Wirth, and Studio Veronica Ditting. 

Teaching

I am a lecturer at ECAL where I teach two classes: Critical History of Graphic Design to first year BA students (since 2012) and Design/Research to second year BA students (since 2016). I teach graphic design as a visiting lecturer at Kingston School of Art. I am an occasional visiting lecturer at HEAD Geneva and at the RCA and an external tutor at HKB.

I have either taught, given workshops, talks or guest critiques at Bern University of the Arts, Bristol University, ECAL, EPFL+ECAL Lab, Kingston University, Parallel School Lausanne, Royal College of Art, SUPSI (Lugano) and Usine Kügler (Geneva).
