I am an experienced video journalist passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging through compelling multimedia storytelling. Focused on social and environmental issues, I produce various video formats on a wide range of topics, specialising in impactful explainer videos with motion graphics and stop-motion animation. During my studies in cinema, English literature and journalism, I’ve gained experience in radio, television, and print across Switzerland. After working with the Locarno Film Festival’s image & sound team, I joined SWI swissinfo.ch in 2018 to produce local and international reportages.

Overconsumption leads to overproduction and in fast fashion’s case a lot of clothes from previous collections are thrown out when the new collection is put on the racks. Some companies have been criticised for burning the remaining unsold clothes: would “slow fashion” solve the problem?
